The coalition wants the DOL to clearly state in its rule that AHPs must meet ACA’s key requirements including the Essential Health Benefit Package.
In a statement, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, said, “Our federal government should be doing everything in its power to protect and expand access to healthcare, not deny it.”
Additionally, AG James said, “This new policy is both deceiving and dangerous – it fails to adequately inform policyholders of the true extent of the coverage that they have a legal right to, and that plans should be providing. All Americans deserve access to quality healthcare and we will continue to fight to ensure this basic right.”
