6. Cheaper health insurance is code for junk insurance.

If these plans are "not subject to the same rules" as ObamaCare, then patients are getting scammed and conned into buying worthless plans that will provide few benefits.

Of course people want cheaper health insurance, but under our current for-profit system, they aren't going to find it. Until we can get a universal plan, ObamaCare is probably as good a program as the present system allows.
