Senate Committee Targets Biden-Era ACA Marketplace Rule in Disapproval Push

Legislative Progress

Senate
House
President
Law

Key Points

  • Congress would cancel a CMS rule about Affordable Care Act Marketplace “integrity and affordability.”
  • If this resolution becomes law, that CMS rule would be treated as if it never took effect.
  • People who buy health insurance through the Marketplace could see different rules than what CMS set in that regulation.
  • Insurers that sell Marketplace plans would follow the older rules instead of the rule Congress is trying to overturn.
  • The text does not explain what the CMS rule changes, so the day-to-day impact depends on what was in that rule.
