Democrats despise the thought of Americans making their own decisions on health insurance, so President Joe Bđ°iden is moving to crush the short-term, limited policies that 1.5 million of us now choose.
That is, heâs rolling back Trump-era regulations that undid Obama rules to allow this choice.
These are less-pricey, customizable policies that Democrats call âjunk insurancâ eâ because it comes without the bells and whistles they deem necessary.
CurrenđĽt rules let you buy this temporary coverage for up to four years; Biden would limit it to three months, at most four, and to âstandardâ policies at higher monthly rates: No cost-cutting bargains allowed.
The main point is to give you no coverage choice except an Obamđ´aCare policy, even if you have to pay 50% more, despite all the subsidies for those plans.
Analysts right, center and even on the left agree: Availability of these âcheapieâ plans led to increases in health coverage.
đ şProgressives donât care, because they donât trust average Americđ´ans to choose for themselves.
Itâs just one more case where âsocial justiceâ turns out to mean bullying everyone to do what đ¸the left wants.
