119th (2025–2027)
H.J.Res. 197
This joint resolution would reject a regulation issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that sets benefit and payment parameters for health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act for 2027, as well as rules for the Basic Health Program. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, the regulation would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution was introduced in June 2026 and uses the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to overturn federal agency rules. The legislation is supported by Democratic members and directly affects how insurance coverage and payments would be structured for millions of Americans enrolled in ACA marketplace plans and Basic Health Program coverage starting in 2027. No specific funding is mentioned since this resolution focuses on disapproving an existing regulation rather than appropriating money or creating new programs.
