It’s the Greatest Hits List of What Doesn’t Work for Health Care.
Association plans are garbage.
HSAs are already widespread. They’re not awful but they’re useless for most enrollees.
Not sure exactly what “Choice Plans” refers to in this context as it’s a generic phrase with several possible meanings, but it’s probably either bad or pointless.

Is it 'Winter' or 'winter'?
The seasons are common nouns, not proper nouns, so they are not usually capitalized.
They should be capitalized when they are the first word of a sentence or in titles, and in cases where they are being personified, as in poetry.

Congress must extend the ACA tax credits that are a lifeline for millions of families.
That’s exactly what the Democratic plan would do by providing the certainty of these tax credits for another 3 years. I urge my Republican colleagues to join us to advance this proposal.

This is a crude comparison but it underscores the point:
At full price, employer-based insurance premiums have been similar to or HIGHER than full price ACA coverage on average for years now.
With subsidies, they've also been similar WITH the enhanced tax credits.
