More specifically, the requirements are that a bill either: ends the shared responsibility (penalty) provisions for employers, or reduces those penalties to $0; eliminates the expansion of Medicaid eligibility to non-elderly adults with incomes up to 133% of the poverty level; ends the prohibition on coverage exclusions based on pre existing conditions; redefines the term “dependent” for the purposes of the ACA’s employer shared responsibility provisions from meaning a child under 26 to a child under 18 or younger; or ends premium subsidies for individuals whose household incomes are between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level for premiums purchased on an ACA exchange. Merely reducing the subsidies to something other than $0 is not sufficient.
