We will cover

New U.S. Census reports on uninsured Texans; Where bills are in Congress’ process, and the latest expected timelines;
Main components of House and Senate bills;
How those bills would affect Texas – including explaining the HHSC estimates quoted by Senator Cornyn;
How premium assistance for low-and-moderate income families would work;
Which small employers would be exempt from new requirements, and what larger employers would be required to do; and
CPPP’s top goals and concerns for the legislation —emphasis on low-income Texans.

There will be time for questions and answers.
