John, health care is too expensive, complex, and frustrating.
Last month, President Joe Biden proposed curtailing short-term, limited duration health care plans.
These plans, which are especially helpful for those in between jobs or other situations where they’d face lack of coverage, save people up to 50% to 80% on their premiums.
They’re an affordable option for individuals and families struggling with the high cost of health care.
No wonder they’re so popular.
Three million people have signed up for short-term, limited duration plans since 2018--and 78% of Americans support their availability.
Despite this strong support for these plans, President Biden wants to cut the maximum terms for them from three years to three months.
President Biden’s new proposal to reduce access to affordable, short-term health insurance plans could kick millions of Americans off the coverage they enjoy and depend on.
At a time when health insurance costs are soaring, this proposal eliminates affordable coverage options and denies people the choice they deserve.
Rebecca from Washington state summed this up.
“This policy would harm patients by reducing options for affordable health insurance. People are capable of deciding their health insurance needs as individuals; they don’t need the government to do it for them.”
I recommend you read this op-ed that shows how Biden’s proposed rule will give government bureaucrats more control over your health care. |
