I COSPONSORED

The Undo Sabotage and Expand Affordability of Health Insurance Act of 2018 (H.R.5155), which would make health insurance more affordable, undo the damage done by the Trump administration, and provide the necessary investments to innovate and expand coverage to millions of Americans as we work toward universal coverage, building off the Affordable Care Act. Specifically, it would: expand eligibility for premium tax credits, end administrative action to sell “junk” catastrophic coverage, restrict state flexibility to waive essential health benefit requirements, provide reinsurance, remove administrative discretion over enrollment outreach, and incentivize enrollment benchmarks for states. This co-sponsorship is especially timely because Republicans have spent this week voting on increased tax breaks and junk insurance plans instead of fixing the mess they have created to undermine the ACA.
