Giving people freedom to buy it is one of the things that President Trump and HHS secretary Alex Azar got right. I wrote about it for Bloomberg Opinion:
The Democrats’ leading public argument against the short-term plans is that they are “junk insurance.” In fact, they have very high satisfaction rates. And as the CBO projection suggests, for a lot of people the alternative to these plans that’s affordable isn’t better insurance. It’s no insurance at all.
