Just random key-mashing?double bonusNew Trump administration regulations released earlier this year have undermined the coverage protections in the ACA by making it possible for insurers to renew often skimpy short-term health insurance for up to three years, and for small businesses to form associations that sell substandard health plans. One of the reasons insurers can charge low premiums for these plans is that they generally cover less that ACA-compliant plans and insurers can deny them to people with diabetes or a history of cancer, for example. Only healthy people get these plans. And the more healthy people who buy them, the more expensive coverage becomes for people with a history of illness who buy their own insurance and have incomes too high to qualify for marketplace subsidies. In guidance released last week, the administration will allow states to further encourage the sale of these plans by letting people use federal subsidies to buy them.

yep. those shitty policies are the same kind that were marketed pre ACA days.
& the whole ACA is in peril with it being struck down in its entirety. the lawsuit, starting in texas (of course) has moved thru the courts & is in front of the supremes right now - based on the argument that if the individual mandate has been ruled 'unconstitutional' then the whole thing must be, & therefore abolished.
fingers-crossed.
which will leave a lotta trump humpers dead in the water.
by all means - please join them.
No thanks. Hmmm.... it seems like you're trying to make a point.
am i?
pretty much, ya. you aren't worthy of much debating about the ACA - you made that clear, so now i'm just biding time until the water for my pasta starts boiling.
