Specifically, the continuing resolution:
- Delays implementation of the Cadillac tax on high-cost group health coverage until 2022;
- Provides an additional one-year moratorium on the health insurance providers fee for 2019 (although the fee continues to apply 2018); and
- Extends the moratorium on the medical device excise tax for an additional two years, through 2019.
