              Bipartisan   Health  Care  Stabilization Act  of 2018

              As provided to CBO on March 19, 2018 (version TAM18347)


SUMMARY

The Bipartisan Health Care Stabilization Act of 2018 (BHCSA) would make several
changes to health care laws. It would:

   *  Change  the state innovation waiver process established by the Affordable Care
      Act (ACA),

   *  Appropriate a total of $30.5 billion for reinsurance programs or invisible high-risk
      pools in the nongroup insurance market,

   *  Appropriate funds for the direct payment for cost-sharing reductions (CSRs)
      through 2021,

   *  Allow any enrollee in the nongroup market to purchase a catastrophic plan, and

   *  Require some existing funding for operations in the health insurance marketplaces
      to be used specifically for outreach and enrollment activities in 2019 and 2020.

On net, CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that
enacting the legislation would increase the deficit by $19.1 billion over the 2018-2027
period relative to CBO's baseline. The agencies estimate that the legislation would
increase the number of people with health insurance coverage, on net, by fewer than
500,000 people in each year from 2019 through 2022, compared with the baseline
projection. Because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending and revenues,
pay-as-you-go procedures apply.

CBO  and JCT estimate that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning
in 2028.
