Additionally, the bill proposes to exclude certain periods of coverage from the late enrollment penalty. Specifically, it targets coverage under COBRA, retiree, and VA coverage. The changes regarding premiums and coverage exclusions would take effect after a 90-day period following the Act's enactment.
