This is according to Michael F. Cannon, Director of Healthcare Policy at the CATO Institute:\n \n“Don’t extend the ObamaCare subsidies — Would be like making ObamaCare permanent. You have to stop talking about it now. Tell Congress, ‘I want to make permanent those Rules that I put into place in 2018, giving people access to ObamaCare exempt planning’ — Because then Premiums will FALL, by 50% or more, for most people. I want to go back to the three year window where you can get in there for ObamaCare where you won’t pay as much. Don’t expand ObamaCare. Congress must make Trump Rules permanent. These were President Trump’s 2018 Short Term Plans Rule that President Obama terminated. All Congress has to do is say, ‘Look, the Short Term Plans can last up to 36 months, your Insurer can sell you a Renewal Guarantee so it can last even beyond that period, and you will get lower priced Insurance, better Insurance, Longer Term Insurance and, it doesn’t cost Taxpayers a dime or, it won’t destabilize ObamaCare.’ Much simpler than what President Trump’s advisers are selling him, much better to assuage the fears of nervous Democrats, because we had these Rules in place for six years, and ObamaCare did not crater. Subsidies will not solve this problem. Government should be capping what it spends on Healthcare at ZERO. Send them a check. No need for subsidies. Congress has to get out of the way of Private Insurance Companies. Give the money to the Consumers to buy directly from the Health Insurance Companies.”
