In a new blog post, Commonwealth Fund vice president Sara Collins explores the U.S. Treasury Department's proposed rule on eligibility for health insurance premium tax credits, which will help an estimated 20 million people lower the costs of purchasing coverage. Collins explains who will be eligible for the credits, and how much of premium costs they will cover. "Combined with the substantial expansion in Medicaid eligibility and new insurance market reforms, the premium tax credits will greatly improve the affordability and accessibility of insurance," she writes.
