NEW: Government Watchdog Report Finds Health Insurance Alternatives May Leave Consumers and Workers Vulnerable to Low-Quality Coverage, Misleading Marketing

Press Release

"With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, we took historic steps toward ensuring comprehensive health insurance coverage for all Americans. GAO's report gives us further evidence that alternatives to health insurance need to be better regulated to more fully support and protect consumers. I was pleased to work with Ranking Member Scott to request this report, which found that these alternatives often have fewer consumer protections and are sometimes marketed misleadingly to consumers, and we are committed to using these findings to improve Americans' access to robust health insurance coverage."
