Creates a new public health insurance option and expands financial help for healthcare costs.
This bill would create a new public health insurance plan, called "Medicare-X Choice," that would be available on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges starting in 2028. It would also expand financial assistance for health insurance premiums and allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. These changes aim to make health coverage more affordable and accessible for individuals and small businesses.
Today, there is no public health insurance option available on the Affordable Care Act exchanges, and financial help for premiums is capped based on income. Medicare is also generally prohibited from negotiating prescription drug prices. If this bill becomes law, a new public health plan would be available on the exchanges, more people would qualify for financial help with premiums, and Medicare would be able to negotiate drug prices.
