Why the Left Is Desperate to Sabotage Trump's Health Care Plans

Hoyer recently declared, "The Trump administration's ongoing effort to take health care coverage away from millions of Americans and take critical protections away from millions more through sabotage and lawsuits is reprehensible."

The majority leader is backing a House resolution condemning said sabotage, while the House Energy and Commerce Committee is finishing up a series of legislative measures to roll back the Trump administration's "Ongoing sabotage" of the Affordable Care Act, including its expansion of "Junk plans" as alternatives to Obamacare plans.

In the area of health insurance, his two major administrative initiatives are expansion of association health plans and short-term limited duration health plans.

Under rules set by the Department of Labor, association health plans would allow employers and employees in the "Same line of business" to join together and unite in common pools to purchase more affordable and flexible coverage.

"Modern Healthcare" reports that these plans are offering broad networks of providers and fairly comprehensive benefits packages, and are neither denying coverage for people with pre-existing conditions nor are they rating persons according to their health risk.

The Trump administration is also allowing people enrolled in short-term, limited-duration health plans to renew their coverage for up to three years.

While these short-term plans provide less comprehensive health insurance coverage, they also have broader provider networks.
