Puerto Rico Affordable Care Act of 2025

Introduced 2025-12-04Topic: health care · taxesSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change the Affordable Care Act to require a health insurance Exchange (marketplace) in Puerto Rico, starting one year after the bill becomes law. It would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to apply federal health insurance market rules from the Public Health Service Act to health insurance offered in Puerto Rico, despite a 2014 federal letter about how those rules applied there. It would also treat Puerto Rico the same as a State for parts of the federal premium tax credit, which helps people pay for Exchange coverage. These changes would take effect one year after enactment.
