Chapter[ Executive Summary
Section[ New Coverage Choices for Insured & Uninsured
Specifically, the American Health Choices Plan will:
1. Offer New Coverage Choices for the Insured and Uninsured: The American Health
Choices Plan gives Americans the choice to preserve their existing coverage, while offering
new choices to those with insurance, to the 47 million people in the United States without
insurance, and the tens of millions more at risk of losing coverage.
• The Same Choice of Health Plan Options that Members of Congress Receive:
Americans can keep their existing coverage or access the same menu of quality private
insurance options that their Members of Congress receive through a new Health
Choices Menu, established without any new bureaucracy as part of the Federal
Employee Health Benefit Program (FEHBP). In addition to the broad array of private
options that Americans can choose from, they will be offered the choice of a public
plan option similar to Medicare.
• A Guarantee of Quality Coverage: The new array of choices offered in the Menu will
provide benefits at least as good as the typical plan offered to Members of Congress,
which includes mental health parity and usually dental coverage.
