Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal rules for employer health coverage. It lets groups of employers, including self-employed people, join together to offer a shared health plan if the group has existed for at least 2 years, is run by its employer members, and does not deny coverage or charge more based on health status or pre-existing conditions. It excludes stop-loss insurance bought by self-insured employer plans from the definition of health insurance, and it allows employers to fund health reimbursement accounts that workers use to buy individual coverage. It also requires companies that manage prescription drug benefits for employer plans to report drug costs, rebates, and fees to those plans at least every 6 months, with penalties for failing to report or giving false information.
