HLC response to Senate Finance Committee Democrats’ RFI on Health Coverage

HLC urged Congress to strengthen and modernize existing coverage pathways, strongly supporting restoring and building on the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, simplifying enrollment and coverage renewal processes, promoting continuity of care, and advancing patient-centered policies that improve affordability while preserving consumer choice, innovation, and market stability. It expressed appreciation for the RFI’s recognition that changes in one part of the coverage system can affect affordability, access, and stability across the broader healthcare system. As Congress considers reforms, HLC underscored that it will be important to evaluate how they interact with insurance markets and affect patients, providers, and employers.
