This bill has a 2% chance of being passed into law.![]()
Completely out of context-their comments are as follows:
This bill has a 2% chance of being enacted.
Factors considered:
The overall text of the bill does little to affect its chances of being enacted. Although this bill has a low chance of enactment, there is 1 provision within this bill that the provision-level textual analysis considers likely to be enacted. There are often multiple bills with the same legal provisions within them. The bill's primary sponsor is a Republican. The bill is assigned to the House Ways and Means committee. The bill's primary subject is Health.
Since there is only ONE provision in the bill (12 months for STM) it means they expect it to be passed, just under a different bill.
Here is the body of the bill:
To prohibit implementation of the revised definition of short-term, limited duration insurance in order to permit such insurance to provide up to 12 months of coverage.
1.
Short title
This Act may be cited as the "Affordable Limited Health Coverage Act".
