More Affordable Care Act
This bill would allow states to waive certain Affordable Care Act requirements for health insurance starting in 2026, provided they maintain a high-risk insurance pool. Residents in participating states would receive funds directly into "Trump Health Freedom Accounts" instead of traditional premium tax credits, which could be used to purchase health insurance with restrictions on coverage for gender transition procedures and abortion services. The bill also modifies tax credits for small employers in participating states and requires better price transparency and outcomes reporting from healthcare providers. It would directly affect residents and small businesses in states that choose to participate in the waiver program.
