Vice President Kamala Harris extolled the president in a speech last month for “fighting to expand access to affordable healthcare” and lambasted right-wing “extremists” for “trying to take away healthcare coverage.”
So it’s ironic that one of the Biden administration’s latest moves, a rule cutting the maximum duration of a short-term health plan from three years to no more than four months, will take away health coverage on which millions of people rely.
Democrats call short-term plans “junk” insurance. But that claim doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. As Cato Institute scholar Michael Cannon pointed out, the majority of short-term plans are comprehensive policies that cover high-cost medical events.
