| Health care reform: Senate vote to disapprove of rule protecting consumers from unfair changes to their existing healthcare plans. |
Sen. Mike Enzi (R. Wyo.) filed a Senate Joint Resolution of Disapproval (SJ Res 39) of the interim final rule submitted by the departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and Treasury related to the status of a grandfathered health plan under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Specifically, the rule prohibits plans from significantly cutting or reducing benefits, increasing co-pays by an excessive amount, dramatically raising deductibles or decreasing employer contributions that result in an increase in workers’ share of premiums. If plans significantly raise out-of-pocket costs for consumers, they lose their “grandfathered” status and would be considered a new plan, subject to further requirements in the law. Sen. Enzi’s resolution would completely eliminate the rule, making it impossible for the administration to move forward with the range of important consumer protections against insurance company abuses. It was rejected.

| S.J.RES.39, On the Motion to Proceed. |
Vote on a procedural motion to proceed to S.J. Res. 39, an Enzi (R-WY) “resolution of disapproval” aimed at preventing the Department of Health and Human Services from implementing its proposed “Grandfather Rule” under the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This group supported the motion and the resolution, as the rule will increase manufacturers’ health care costs and limit their ability to tailor health plans to meet the needs of their workforce.
