Healthcare Freedom and Choice Act

What this bill does

  • This bill cancels a 2024 rule that limits short-term health insurance plans to 3-month contracts and 4-month total coverage.
  • It affects people who buy short-term insurance plans, which don't have to cover pre-existing conditions or meet other ACA requirements.
  • The bill takes effect immediately by nullifying the rule and restoring previous regulations allowing up to 36 months of coverage.
