It’s no longer the AHCA, is it not?
Why not a simpler bill: Congress shall be bound by any/all laws/rules/regulations as would any other Entity of these United States; no exemptions has hereby apply.
Here’s the actual wording as passed.
If the American Health Care Act is enacted, effective as if included in the enactment of such Act, section 2701(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg(b)(5)(A)(ii)), as added by subsection (a) of section 136 of the American Health Care Act (relating to permitting States to waive certain ACA requirements to encourage fair health insurance premiums), is amended by striking “1312(d)(3)(D),”.
Passed the House of Representatives May 4, 2017
