(31,261 posts)1. People that are in insurance plans that they like are allowed to keep them.
2. The expansion covers the large number or working people that now fall through a donut hole, people that can't afford quality healthcare and make too much to qualify for ACA assistance now (I think allowing them to buy into a massive group plan would lower their costs and provide high quality low deductible, no cap health insurance to them).
3. Short term unemployed people get high quality plan options that can be handled with unemployment payments and some premium assistance.
4. A plan exists for unemployed people on the 50-65 age range. Because of ageism, those people have a hard time finding a job.
5. Small companies be allowed to buy into large group plans that cross state borders. We simply must attack the state by state health insurance regulation market, health insurance should be like auto and homeowners insurance, companies can offer insurance across state lines, as long as those plans meet the standard of being high quality, with low deductibles and no coverage cap.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
