Puerto Rico residents would gain access to Affordable Care Act benefits and financial help for health insurance.
This bill would bring Puerto Rico in line with many parts of the Affordable Care Act. It would affect residents, health insurance providers, and the government of Puerto Rico. Residents would get a health insurance marketplace, stronger consumer protections, and tax credits to help pay for coverage.
Today, Puerto Rico does not have a health insurance marketplace under the Affordable Care Act, and its residents are not eligible for federal premium tax credits. Also, certain federal health insurance consumer protections do not fully apply. If this bill becomes law, Puerto Rico would need to set up a health insurance marketplace. Federal rules protecting health insurance buyers would apply to health plans there. Also, eligible residents would get tax credits to help pay for insurance. These changes would generally take effect one year after the bill becomes law.
