Dems Battle to Limit Your Health Insurance Choices
Determined to keep the middle class shackled to Obamacare.
American Spectator, Aug 15, 2018, Betsy McCaughey
<snip>
Enter Trump. On August 1, the Trump administration announced regulatory changes that will allow sticker-shocked consumers to buy “short term†health plans without costly extras like newborn care and pediatric dental coverage that are mandatory (even for single guys) in Obamacare plans. The short term plans, which can last three years, will cost less than half what Obamacare costs, in some cases only a quarter as much. Six hundred thousand consumers are expected to snap up these lower-cost plans in the first year, two million by 2023. [...]
How about Nancy Pelosi’s rants about “junk†coverage? False. These low cost plans will probably provide better access to hospital and doctors than Obamacare plans, which often exclude specialty hospitals like MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and include only doctors who take bargain-basement Medicaid fees.
Schumer tries to claim people with pre-existing conditions will be harmed because their Obamacare premiums will rise as healthy people leave for less costly alternatives. Sorry, Senator, that’s another whopper. According to America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the impact will be nearly imperceptible — under 2%.
Never mind hard facts. The Democratic Party is determined to outlaw low-cost alternatives to Obamacare. They’re taking their battle to the states, which have the authority to ban these plans inside their own borders. Hawaii, Maryland, Connecticut, and Washington state recently slammed the door on them. California is expected to follow. 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.
