Abstract:
Thank you, Chairwoman Maloney, Ranking Member Comer, and Members of the Committee, for this invitation to testify today on pathways to universal coverage in the United States. My comments will focus on the national gains in health insurance coverage since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the effects of the pandemic and COVID-19 relief efforts on coverage, and potential policy levers to cover the remaining uninsured and lower consumer costs.
