HR 6494

The Territories Health Equity Act of 2025 aims to improve healthcare access and equity for residents of U.S. territories, particularly Puerto Rico. It eliminates funding limitations for Medicaid and Medicare in these areas, establishes minimum Medicare Advantage payment criteria, and provides enhanced coverage options for residents who lack access to employer-sponsored or exchange-based insurance. The bill also addresses issues related to late enrollment penalties for Medicare and ensures access to coverage for those without exchange plans.
