United States119th CongressHR-379House of Representatives
Updated: Jan 14, 2025

Summary

This bill aims to nullify a specific federal regulation concerning health insurance, titled the "Healthcare Freedom and Choice Act." It targets the interagency rule on Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance and Independent, Noncoordinated Excepted Benefits Coverage , which was published on April 3, 2024, in the Federal Register. The legislation explicitly states that this rule, issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Employee Benefits Security Administration, and the Health and Human Services Department, shall have no legal force or effect. By enacting this bill, Congress would prevent the implementation of these particular regulations, thereby maintaining the status quo regarding short-term health insurance plans and certain excepted benefits.
