The Dangers of Trump Administration Junk Insurance Policies

The current market for individual insurance consists of one pool which shares risk between more and less healthy consumers. People with preexisting conditions, children with complex needs, pregnant women, and older adults are protected against discrimination. Coverage of essential health benefits is guaranteed for everyone.

These dangerous new sham health plans roll back the current protections and benefits — leaving people vulnerable to predatory insurers and drowning in the waters of mounting health care costs.
