Bill overview
This bill, the Healthcare Freedom and Choice Act, aims to eliminate a recent rule issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Employee Benefits Security Administration, and the Department of Health and Human Services regarding short-term health insurance plans. The rule limited the duration and renewal options for these plans, which are exempt from many requirements of the Affordable Care Act. By nullifying this rule, the bill seeks to allow for short-term health insurance plans with longer initial and coverage periods, as previously permitted.
