Diane Black (R-Tenn.) — would prohibit the government from issuing premium tax credits and reductions in cost-sharing for people buying coverage through the health insurance marketplaces until HHS shows Congress the agency has implemented a system to verify household income and other eligibility requirements for those applying for subsidies.
Among those who currently buy their own health insurance, 48 percent would be eligible for tax credits to offset their premiums on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s individual insurance market, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation report released last month.
