The AHCA would allow states to continue to enroll persons in the ACA Medicaid expansion through January 1, 2020, and would disallow further enrollment after that date.[2] The AHCA will include age-based tax credits for those who earn less than $75,000, or $150,000 for joint filers.[2] The bill would require insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. The AHCA uses a standard of 'continuous coverage', defined by a 63-day coverage gap, where an individual who currently has insurance and is changing insurers will not pay a higher rate with their new insurer. Individuals who wish to buy insurance but are outside of the coverage gap will pay a 30 percent premium surcharge for one year and then return to standard rates.[3] Both healthy and the sick are required to pay the surcharge, which may cause healthier persons to remain outside of the market causing overall health care cost to raise.[3][4]
