Trade-off

Repealing COBRA removes an unaffordable option but eliminates a fallback if UHP is ever underfunded.

Part of: Rewrite insurance & benefits law

Amend ERISA, the tax code, and the ACA so that employer plans and private insurance cannot duplicate UHP benefits, and so supplementary insurance is regulated.
