Bill 118 s 5194, also known as the "Expand Eligibility for Health Plan Credit Act," aims to make changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to broaden the eligibility criteria for the refundable credit for coverage under a qualified health plan.
The bill proposes to expand the eligibility requirements for individuals to receive the refundable credit, which is designed to help offset the costs of purchasing health insurance. By expanding eligibility, more individuals will be able to access this financial assistance, making it easier for them to afford health coverage.
The specific details of how eligibility will be expanded are not outlined in the summary, but it is clear that the goal of the bill is to make the credit more accessible to a larger number of individuals. This could potentially have a positive impact on increasing the number of people who are able to obtain and maintain health insurance coverage.
Overall, the "Expand Eligibility for Health Plan Credit Act" is focused on improving access to affordable health insurance for more Americans by making changes to the current refundable credit system.
