Senator Orrin Hatch and Representative Kevin Brady have each introduced a similar version of the “Healthcare Market Certainty and Mandate Relief Act” (S. 2052, H.R. 4200) in their respective houses. This legislation would suspend the ACA’s individual mandate from 2017 through 2021. It would also lift the employer mandate going back to 2015, thus exempting companies from penalties if they did not provide coverage based on the ACA’s requirement. Additionally, the legislation would increase the maximum contribution limit of health savings accounts.
