Democratic attorneys general sue to block HHS changes to ACA health insurance marketplaces
UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – The coalition argues the new rule will reduce enrollment periods, impose fees on zero-premium plans, exclude gender-affirming care, and cause up to 1.8 million people to lose coverage.
- On Thursday, the coalition of 20 state attorneys general and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro sued HHS and CMS in Massachusetts, challenging a rule set to take effect on Aug. 25.
- Under the new rule, the administration shortens enrollment and adds fees, it also excludes gender-affirming care from essential health benefits.
- Conflicting projections underscore high stakes: coverage loss versus savings, with the Trump administration estimating up to 1.8 million people could lose coverage, while CMS projects $12 billion in savings and a 5% premium reduction.
- Washington state projects substantial revenue declines for its health exchange, and Washington forecasts up to $10 million in lost exchange revenue.
- Seeking to halt the changes, the coalition requested a stay before Aug. 25 to avert coverage losses, with less than four months until plan year 2026 open enrollment.
