Trump Administration Wants To Let Insurers Offer Plans With Fewer Benefits
The Department of Health and Human Services is proposing a rule that would expand short-term policies that don't have to meet the Affordable Care Act's benefit requirements.
The Trump administration wants to allow insurance companies to offer more policies that have limited health benefits and that can reject customers if they have pre-existing medical conditions.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar says – which don't meet the legal requirements for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act — will allow consumers who can't afford insurance now to find cheaper plans.
