Judge urges insurers to withdraw request to block administration's expansion of non-ObamaCare plans
A federal judge appeared largely unsympathetic to arguments made by insurers Friday that the Trump administration’s expansion of non-ObamaCare plans would hurt their businesses and consumers.
Judge Richard Leon, of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, urged the insurers to withdraw their request for a preliminary injunction and gave indications that he agreed with the administration that the expansion of short-term health plans would provide alternatives to healthy, young consumers who have been priced out of ObamaCare’s insurance markets.
The plans typically cost less than the ones through ObamaCare, but they offer fewer benefits and can deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.
“These people, who are young and healthy, are not buying insurance. At least with this way, they’d have insurance,” Leon said Friday during oral arguments between the Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP) and the Treasury Department.
