Healthcare Freedom and Fairness Act

This bill would change federal employee benefits law so that groups called "health marketplace pools" can be treated as employers for the purpose of offering group health plans or group health insurance. A pool must be formed in good faith to create a risk pool for its members and cannot base membership on a person's health status. Pools could buy coverage from an insurer or self-insure, and could offer plans that cover only prescription or over-the-counter drugs. Members, their employees, and dependents could enroll, and joining a pool would not by itself create a joint employer relationship or make a member a fiduciary of the plan.
