        each State described in paragraph (1) or (2) for such year, as 
        applicable, by providing reinsurance payments to health

SEC. 107. RESCINDING THE SHORT-TERM LIMITED DURATION INSURANCE 
              REGULATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) On August 3, 2018, the Administration issued a final 
        rule entitled ``Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance'' (83 
        Fed. Reg. 38212).
            (2) The final rule dramatically expands the sale and 
        marketing of insurance that--
                    (A) may discriminate against individuals living 
                with preexisting health conditions, including children 
                with complex medical needs and disabilities and their 
                families;
                    (B) lacks important financial protections provided 
                by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
                (Public Law 111-148), including the prohibition of 
                annual and lifetime coverage limits and annual out-of-
                pocket limits, that may increase the cost of treatment 
                and cause financial hardship to those requiring medical 
                care, including children with complex medical needs and 
                disabilities and their families; and
                    (C) excludes coverage of essential health benefits 
                including hospitalization, prescription drugs, and 
                other lifesaving care.
            (3) The implementation and enforcement of the final rule 
        weakens critical protections for up to 130 million Americans 
        living with preexisting health conditions and may place a large 
        financial burden on those who enroll in short-term limited-
        duration insurance, which jeopardizes Americans' access to 
        quality, affordable health insurance.
    (b) Prohibition.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services, the 
Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of Labor--
            (1) may not take any action to implement, enforce, or 
        otherwise give effect to the rule entitled ``Short-Term, 
        Limited Duration Insurance'' (83 Fed. Reg. 38212 (August 3, 
        2018));
            (2) shall apply any regulation revised by such rule as if 
        such rule had not been issued; and
            (3) may not promulgate any substantially similar rule.

SEC. 108. REVOKING SECTION 1332 GUIDANCE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) On October 24, 2018, the administration published new 
        guidance to carry out section 1332 of the Patient Protection 
        and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18052) entitled ``State 
        Relief and Empowerment Waivers'' (83 Fed. Reg. 53575).
            (2) The new guidance encourages States to provide health 
        insurance coverage through insurance plans that may 
        discriminate against individuals with preexisting health 
        conditions, including the one in four Americans living with a 
        disability.
            (3) The implementation and enforcement of the new guidance 
        weakens protections for the millions of Americans living with 
        preexisting health conditions and jeopardizes Americans' access 
        to quality, affordable health insurance coverage.
    (b) Providing That Certain Guidance Related to Waivers for State 
Innovation Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Shall 
Have No Force or Effect.--Beginning July 1, 2020, the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services and the Secretary of the Treasury may not 
take any action to implement, enforce, or otherwise give effect to the 
guidance entitled ``State Relief and Empowerment Waivers'' (83 Fed. 
Reg. 53575 (October 24, 2018)), including any such action that would 
result in individuals losing health insurance coverage that includes 
the essential health benefits package (as defined in subsection (a) of 
section 1302 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 
U.S.C. 18022(a)) without regard to any waiver of any provision of such 
package under a waiver under such section 1332), including the 
maternity and newborn care essential health benefit described in 
subsection (b)(1)(D) of such section, including any such action that 
would result in a decrease in the number of such individuals enrolled 
in coverage that is at least as comprehensive as the coverage defined 
in section 1302(a) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
(42 U.S.C. 18022(a)) compared to the number of such individuals who 
would have been so enrolled in such coverage had such action not been 
taken, including any such action that would, with respect to 
individuals with substance use disorders, including opioid use 
disorders, reduce the availability or affordability of coverage that is 
at least as comprehensive as the coverage defined in section 1302(a) of 
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18022(a)) 
compared to the availability or affordability, respectively, of such 
coverage had such action not been taken, including any such action that 
would result, with respect to vulnerable populations (including low-
income individuals, elderly individuals, and individuals with serious 
health issues or who have a greater risk of developing serious health 
issues), in a decrease in the availability of coverage that is at least 
as comprehensive as the coverage defined in section 1302(a) of the 
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18022(a)) with 
coverage and cost sharing protections required under section 
1332(b)(1)(B) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 18052(b)(1)(B)), including any 
such action that would, with respect to individuals with preexisting 
conditions, reduce the affordability of coverage that is at least as 
comprehensive as the coverage defined in section 1302(a) of the Patient 
Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18022(a)) compared to the 
affordability of such coverage had such action not been taken, 
including any such action that would result in higher health insurance 
premiums for individuals enrolled in health insurance coverage that is 
at least as comprehensive as the coverage defined in section 1302(b) of 
such Act (42 U.S.C. 18022(b)), and the Secretaries may not promulgate 
any substantially similar guidance or rule. Nothing in the previous 
sentence shall be construed to affect the approval of waivers under 
section 1332 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 
U.S.C. 18052) that establish reinsurance programs that are consistent 
with the requirements under subsection (b)(1) of such section (42 
U.S.C. 18052(b)(1)), lower health insurance premiums, and protect 
health insurance coverage for people with preexisting conditions.
    (c) GAO Report on Affect of State Innovation Waivers on Coverage of 
Individuals and on Mental Health Health Care Treatment.--Not later than 
1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller 
General of the United States shall submit to Congress a report on the 
number of individuals expected to lose access to health insurance 
coverage (as defined in section 2791 of the Public Health Service Act 
(42 U.S.C. 300gg-91)) if subsection (b) were not enacted and waivers 
under section 1332 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
(42 U.S.C. 18052) were approved under the guidance described in such 
subsection (b). Such report shall include an analysis of the expected 
effect such waivers approved under such guidance would have on mental 
health care treatment.

SEC. 109. REQUIRING MARKETPLACE OUTREACH, EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, AND 
              ANNUAL ENROLLMENT TARGETS.

    (a) In General.--Section 1321(c) of the Patient Protection and 
Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18041(c)), as amended by section 105(b), 
is further amended by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:

                out outreach and educational activities for purposes of 
                informing individuals about qualified health plans 
                offered through the Exchange, including by informing 
                such individuals of the availability of coverage under 
                such plans and financial assistance for coverage under 
                such plans. Such outreach and educational activities 
                shall be provided in a manner that is culturally and 
                linguistically appropriate to the needs of the 
                populations being served by the Exchange (including 
                hard-to-reach populations, such as racial and sexual 
                minorities, limited English proficient populations, 
                individuals in rural areas, veterans, and young adults) 
                and shall be provided to populations residing in high 
                health disparity areas (as defined in subparagraph (E)) 
                served by the Exchange, in addition to other 
                populations served by the Exchange.
                    ``(B) Limitation on use of funds.--No funds 
                appropriated under this paragraph shall be used for 
                expenditures for promoting non-ACA compliant health 
                insurance coverage.
