Healthcare-related legislation

An individual coverage incentive was added to the Better Care Reconciliation Act Monday.

The most significant change is the inclusion of a new provision to encourage Americans to maintain continuous healthcare coverage that would replace the ACA’s individual mandate.

Nevada senator says he opposes Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan to overhaul Obamacare, as the party leader faces pushback from fellow Republicans days before the Senate may begin debate.

Granted, nothing is settled, but organizations should be taking these steps to ensure they're ready for any modifications to their medical plans.

The Better Care Reconciliation Act pushes off the Cadillac tax, eliminates the employer mandate and boosts health savings accounts.

Republican leaders released their much-awaited healthcare bill Thursday morning after months of closed-door meetings, but it’s not yet clear if they will have the votes to pass it as soon as next week.

The plan includes $15 billion a year in market-stabilizing funds over the next two years and $10 billion a year in 2020 and 2021, according to a person familiar with the plan.

But, as in the House bill, states could receive waivers of some of Obamacare’s consumer protections including provision of 'essential health benefits.'

Still, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he expects to provide a ‘discussion draft’ of the measure Thursday and that it likely will go to the floor for a vote next week.

As Washington debates the AHCA, states are pushing plans that would wipe out health insurance companies.
