MFA Act

This bill would change the Affordable Care Act to require multi-factor authentication on healthcare.gov. Within one year after the law is enacted, the Secretary of Health and Human Services would have to require people to verify their identity with two or more types of factors, such as a password, a token, or a biometric trait, before enrolling in a health plan or viewing personal enrollment information. People without broadband or cell service, or who cannot use multi-factor authentication for reasons the Secretary specifies, would be exempt. The change would apply to plan years starting at least one year after enactment.
