PLAN, YOU CAN KEEP IT. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any provision of 
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (including 
any amendment made by such Act or by the Health Care 
and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010), a health insur-
ance issuer that has in effect health insurance coverage 
in the group market on any date during 2013 may after 
such date offer such coverage for sale through December

lished under section 1311 or 1321 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
18031, 18041). A group health plan shall not be treated 
as not complying with the requirements of such Act (or 
the amendments made by such Acts) insofar as it provides 
health benefits through health insurance coverage that is 
permitted under the previous sentence.

of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

construed as affecting the authority of States with respect
