The Trump administration on Tuesday made a controversial move to expand access to health insurance that does not meet ObamaCare requirements.
The proposed rules would expand access to short-term health insurance to a duration of up to 12 months, lifting the Obama administration’s restrictions that limited the plans to a maximum of three months.
Democrats oppose the move as opening the door to “junk insurance,” since the short-term plans allow people with pre-existing conditions to be charged more and do not meet the requirements for what services a plan must cover.
The administration argues the move will provide cheaper options for people facing high costs for ObamaCare plans.
