Affordable Care and Comprehensive Economic Support through Savings Act
This bill (HR 5608) allows health insurance issuers in the Affordable Care Act marketplaces to contribute directly to enrollees' health savings accounts (HSAs) instead of reducing cost-sharing (like deductibles) for silver-level high-deductible health plans. It affects individuals enrolled in these specific plans who elect this option, requiring insurers to pay into their HSAs monthly (equal to the cost-sharing reduction they would have received) using a medical-only debit card. Insurers must also offer high-deductible plans as alternatives to standard silver plans and provide public education about this option starting in 2025. The changes apply to months beginning after December 2024, with funds treated as advance payments toward tax credits.
