The Trump administration has the authority to make it easier to buy a less expensive alternative to Obamacare coverage, a federal judge ruled

The lawsuit, brought by a coalition of non-profit insurers that sell plans on the Affordable Care Act exchanges and by patient assistance groups, centers on the administration extending the duration of short-term health insurance plans to just under one year, instead of three months. The rule, which was issued last year, stems from an executive order President Donald Trump issued in the fall of 2017.

"Indeed, the district court itself recognized that administration's decision allows junk insurance to compete directly with comprehensive, Affordable Care Act-compliant insurance plans," said Margaret Murray, chief executive officer of the Association for Community Affiliated Plans, the lead plaintiff."That result subverts the health care protections of the ACA. Junk insurance, no matter what it's called, is an inferior and hazardous substitute for comprehensive coverage.

Awesome, wish I could have watched how hard this was to hit send.

Trump 2020🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

The judge said 'MAKE IT CHEAPER' which is not tear it apart or kill it! If anything is done to Obamacare, it must be an IMPROVEMENT, including pre-existing conditions and cost less. Watch, nothing will happen because Trump's goal is to destroy Obama's healthcare legacy. 😡

Where's the catch?

👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yeah!

Free Market for all. The only solution. Get the Government out of the Taxpayer pocket. Fraud in any Government giveaway is rampant.

Mountainaires Yeah.

Trump is still wining

“Yeah but this coverage doesn’t pay for anything. “Well what do you expect for a measly $200 bucks a month?” “Who do you think we are, liberals who want to actually help you? But we have a plan.” “But, it doesn’t pay ... okay, well just forget it then.”

Yes, let’s go back to junk grifter insurance plans. It’s not real insurance, people. It’s nothing more than MLM scam disguised as health insurance.

As if this is bad news 🙄
