What does Speaker Nancy Pelosi think about the proposal?
Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif.) wrote in a press release that President Trump was trying to “dismantle American’s health care” by bolstering HRAs. She claimed that allowing workers to shop for their own insurance will result in more people receiving “junk” coverage.
“And since Day One, the Trump Administration has worked relentlessly to push families into disastrous junk plans, increase their health care costs and gut their health care protections,” Pelosi wrote.
My comments
1. Does Pelosi really believe most people are stupid and gullible enough that they will buy disastrous “junk” coverage?
2. Health insurance policies sold in the USA are regulated by state insurance departments. Before a policy is legally sold in any state, the policy provisions must pass the scrutiny of the state insurance department. Said department has a host of requirements including (a) ones that policy provisions must pass, many about what benefits the policy must cover and (b) about claims practices.
So despite #2, does Pelosi still believe that disastrous "junk” coverage is typical and most people are stupid and gullible enough that they will find it and buy it? I'd like to see her attend a meeting of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and tell all the regulators there that most of what they approve is disastrous "junk."
