This resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to cancel a CMS regulation called the "Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2027." That rule sets yearly ACA marketplace standards, including cost-sharing limits, enrollment procedures, insurer requirements, and Basic Health Program rules. If passed, the 2027 rule would not take effect, and older or different rules would apply instead.
Insurance companies selling ACA marketplace plans and people who buy coverage through the marketplace or a state's Basic Health Program would be affected.
Blocking the rule means planned changes to enrollment procedures, cost-sharing rules, and plan requirements would not take effect, creating uncertainty for insurers and consumers relying on the new standards.
