<body>
<p>This rule would propose amendments to the definition of &lsquo;short-term, limited-duration insurance&rsquo; under section 2791(b)(5) of the Public Health Service Act.&nbsp; The rule&rsquo;s proposals would be designed to ensure this type of coverage does not undermine the Affordable Care Act, including its protections for people with pre-existing conditions, the Health Insurance Exchanges, or the individual, small group, or large group markets for health insurance in the United States.</p>
