Unlikely to pass

This bill was recently introduced and sent to a committee where most bills never receive a vote. It currently lacks the broad bipartisan support needed to move quickly through Congress.

Key Points

This bill requires the government to create a new way to check Social Security numbers when people sign up for health insurance through the official marketplace. The goal is to make sure one person is not enrolled in two different plans at the same time.
The policy aims to stop the government from paying for the same person's insurance twice. By checking for duplicate Social Security numbers, the government can ensure that tax credits used to lower monthly premiums are only paid out once per person.
If the system finds two identical Social Security numbers, the government must take action to stop any extra payments. This is intended to reduce administrative errors and save taxpayer money by preventing waste in the healthcare system.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services would have 60 days to set up this new checking process if the bill becomes law.
