## Summary

**A temporary, income-based premium tax credit** would be added for 2026–2027 while Medicare Advantage risk adjustment and enrollment rules for marketplace plans would be tightened to cut fraud and improve payments. - Families and households: The bill would replace the current premium tax credit table with a six-tier, income-based schedule tied to the federal poverty line. It would set premium percentages from 0.0% up to 8.5% for households up to 600% of poverty for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025 and before January 1, 2028. - Medicare Advantage plans and providers: Risk adjustment would require two years of diagnostic data when available for 2026 and later. The bill would exclude chart-review and health risk assessment diagnoses from payment adjustments and require the Secretary to study and publicly report coding-pattern differences and fully account for them in adjustments. - Consumers, agents, and brokers: The bill would create new verification rules and an audit regime for agent- and broker-assisted enrollments, expand state and federal oversight of Field Marketing Organizations and third-party marketers, and raise penalties for bad actors to civil fines ($10,000–$50,000 for negligence, up to $200,000 for knowing violations) and criminal penalties including fines and up to 10 years imprisonment.
