Plain Language Summary
# ACA Copay CAP Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The ACA Copay CAP Act of 2025 would place limits on copayments (the fixed amounts patients pay per visit or prescription) for people covered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

It could also indirectly affect insurance companies and healthcare providers who set copay rates.
The bill was introduced by Representative Jake Auchincloss, a Democrat from Massachusetts. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been assigned to the appropriate House committee for review and debate but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. No further action has been taken at this time.
