Restoring Essential Plan Coverage Act

This bill would repeal section 71301 of Public Law 119-21 and restore the earlier law it changed, as if that section had never been enacted, which the bill describes as restoring the premium tax credit for lawfully present individuals. It would also let certain lawfully present immigrants with household incomes at or below the poverty line, who cannot get Medicaid because of their immigration status, qualify for the premium tax credit as if their income equaled 100 percent of the poverty line, starting with tax years after 2025. Finally, it would let states set the maximum income for their Basic Health Program anywhere from 200 to 250 percent of the poverty line, starting with plan years in 2027.
