Plain-English Summary

Congress would reject a new rule from Medicare and Medicaid that sets health insurance payment amounts and benefits for 2027 under the Affordable Care Act, preventing the rule from taking effect. This would affect millions of Americans who get health insurance through the ACA marketplace or state basic health programs, as well as insurance companies and healthcare providers who rely on these payment guidelines. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
