Overturn the ACA Marketplace Integrity rule (Warner)
Senate Joint Resolution, S.J.Res. 84
What it did
S.J.Res. 84, sponsored by Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), uses the Congressional Review Act to overturn the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Marketplace Integrity and Affordability rule of June 2025. The rule shortens the federal marketplace open-enrollment window to November 1 through December 15 starting in 2027, adds income-verification paperwork, and tightens special enrollment.
CMS's own analysis projected that 725,000 to 1.8 million people would lose coverage as a result, families with children among them. A yes vote would have started Senate debate on the repeal.
A no vote kept the Senate from even considering it.
The Senate blocked debate 47-52 on January 13, 2026.
Result: Rejected 47-52
At the time of this vote: 725,000 to 1,800,000 people projected to lose ACA marketplace coverage under this rule (CMS's own estimate)
The humane vote: Yes (YEA)
