ABC Supports Legislation Codifying AHPs, ACA Health Care Contributions
On June 20, ABC joined two letters from coalitions of business organizations supporting the Custom Health Option and Individual Care Expense Arrangement Act, which was approved by the House on June 21, by a vote of 220-209. The legislation would codify two health care policy rules from the Trump administration: a 2018 rule that permits businesses to join together to provide association health plans, and a 2019 rule that allows employers to provide tax-free contributions to employees to pay for Affordable Care Act plans in the individual market through individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements.
