GOP's CHOICE Act: Scaling Back Obamacare Protections
House Republicans have passed a package of health insurance bills, known as the CHOICE Act, that could reduce health insurance costs for certain businesses and consumers by rolling back some consumer protections. The legislation includes provisions for short-term plans, association health plans, self-insurance, and workplace issues. However, these reforms are unlikely to become law while the Senate is controlled by Democrats. The Biden administration, on the other hand, seeks to tighten regulations for short-term plans and undo some of the previous administration's health insurance rules. The proposals reflect ongoing debates about the rising cost of healthcare and the balance between affordability and consumer protections.
