Existing federal law, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) , enacts various healthcare coverage market reforms. Among other things, the PPACA requires each state to establish an American Health Benefit Exchange that facilitates the purchase of qualified health plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers and requires that state entity to meet certain other requirements. Existing law creates the California Health Benefit Exchange (the Exchange) , also known as Covered California, for the purpose of facilitating the enrollment of qualified individuals and qualified small employers in qualified health plans as required under the PPACA. Until January 1, 2023, existing law requires the Exchange, among other duties, to administer an individual market assistance program to provide assistance, including premium assistance subsidies, to program participants with household incomes at or below 600% of the federal poverty level. This bill would reduce premiums to zero for program participants with household incomes at or below 138% of the federal poverty level, and would specify the premium assistance subsidy amount for program participants with household incomes of 139% to 600%, inclusive, of the federal poverty level. The bill would require the financial assistance administered by the Exchange to include cost-sharing reduction assistance to reduce the copays, deductibles, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximums, and other cost sharing of a program participant with a household income of 200% to 400%, inclusive, of the federal poverty level.
