HR-987 : Still Just a Bill

Marketing and Outreach Restoration to Empower Health Education Act of 2019 or the MORE Health Education Act

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct outreach and educational activities regarding federally-facilitated exchanges (i.e., health insurance exchanges that are established and operated within states by HHS). The activities must inform potential enrollees of the availability of coverage and related financial assistance under the exchanges and must be provided in culturally and linguistically appropriate formats.
