Democrats Are Out to Sabotage the Middle Class on Health Care

Democrats are trying to ban low-cost health insurance that will cover less than Obamacare.

In truth, they're sabotaging middle-class consumers who've been priced out of Obamacare and dread being uninsured.

The Affordable Care Act requires all health plans to cover a whopping 10 categories of medical care that Washington politicians deem "Essential." Everything from maternity care to substance abuse treatment.

One out of every 5 of these unsubsidized Obamacare customers dropped their insurance last year and went uncovered, a trend predicted to worsen this year.

On Aug. 1, the Trump administration announced regulatory changes that will allow sticker-shocked consumers to buy "Short-term" health plans without costly extras, such as newborn care and pediatric dental coverage, that are mandatory in Obamacare plans.

According to America's Health Insurance Plans, the impact will be nearly imperceptible - less than 2 percent.

Consumers in most states will be free to buy low-cost options, thanks to the Trump regulatory change, but not in these health insurance gulags.
