We have received text from H.R. 8324: Great American Healthcare Plan. This bill was received on 2026-04-16, and currently has 6 cosponsors.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill, known as the "Great American Healthcare Plan," seeks to make several significant updates to the Internal Revenue Code related to healthcare. It aims to improve health savings accounts (HSAs), increase price transparency in the healthcare system, and broaden access to health insurance options.
Enhancements to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
The bill proposes amendments to HSAs to allow individuals to save more money tax-free for their healthcare expenses. This could lead to more financial flexibility for individuals in managing their healthcare costs.
Price Transparency in Healthcare
To increase transparency in healthcare pricing, the bill requires health marketplace pools to be recognized as "employers," enabling them to offer group health plans. These plans must adhere to specific criteria, including:
- Non-discrimination in offering plans to employees.
- Membership requirements that must be met.
- Disclosure of standard charges for services.
Additionally, ambulatory surgical centers will have to disclose their negotiated charges for various services. By January 1, 2028, the Secretary will develop a standardized format for this information to ensure clear communication to patients. Should there be any failure to comply with this requirement, entities may face civil penalties.
Prohibitions on Certain Agreements
The legislation also disallows provisions in health service agreements that prevent or delay access to information for group health plans. Any healthcare provider violating this rule will incur hefty penalties of $100,000 per day until compliance is achieved. The Secretary will oversee the creation and enforcement of regulations to ensure adherence to these requirements.
Expanded Access to Prescription Drugs
The bill mandates that states are not permitted to create laws that contradict the provisions regarding expanded-access prescription drugs, though states can limit their prescribing if they choose. It defines "covered individuals" as licensed healthcare professionals authorized to administer these prescription drugs and ensures that government programs must provide coverage for them.
Conclusion
Overall, the "Great American Healthcare Plan" aims to enhance individual savings for healthcare, improve the clarity of healthcare pricing, and expand access to necessary medications through regulatory changes.
