Summary
The bill changes federal health‑care rules so that money spent on prescription drugs without using insurance still counts toward a person’s annual deductible and out‑of‑pocket maximum. It applies to group health plans, individual insurers, and the tax provisions that govern them, and would take effect for plan years beginning Jan. 1, 2027. The goal is to give consumers clearer cost protection and prevent price discounts from lowering reported drug costs.
