Trump's Making Health Insurance More Affordable

Though technically the suing states won in Texas v. Azar, their victory won't help consumers reeling from Obamacare sticker shock anytime soon.

Obamacare will stay on the books while the decision is appealed, which could take more than a year.

President Donald Trump is using his regulatory power to accomplish precisely what these states are want: relief from Obamacare's rigid regulations.

These states are doubling down on Obamacare, refusing to allow consumers other choices.

Governor Andrew Cuomo even wants the New York State legislature to copy all of Obamacare's federal regulations into state law.

The Trump administration is encouraging states to do it a fairer way, departing from Obamacare rules and allowing insurers to charge healthy buyers less than sick ones.

With help from the Trump administration, some states are forging better ways to make health insurance fair to the sick and affordable for the middle class, regardless of the fate of Obamacare.
