Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Armed Services, Ways and Means, Oversight and Government Reform, and Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill would change the Affordable Care Act to let states create their own universal health care systems. These state programs would be set up to cover a wide range of health services for people who live in the state. The bill also creates a new “state universal health care” waiver to make these systems possible and provides support to help states run them.
In short, it aims to give states a clear path to build statewide, comprehensive coverage for all residents, using a new waiver under federal law.
