Plain-English Summary
Health insurance companies would no longer be required to maintain networks of doctors and hospitals under this proposal, meaning they could offer plans that let patients see any healthcare provider they want without restrictions. This change would affect people buying insurance through the health law's marketplaces, potentially giving them more freedom to choose their doctors but possibly affecting costs and coverage details. Insurance companies and patients would be the main groups impacted by this shift in how health plans operate.
