Obamacare has been just awful. Medical prices have increased dramatically because of it. At least this is an attempt to correct some of that.
i mean, i agree that we should do something about healthcare prices & that obamacare is not faring so well right now. but trying to make it easier to get junk healthcare plans without doing anything about decreasing the price of full-fledged healthcare plans will just make things worse, & lead to a situation where low-income people are priced out of even being able to afford a full healthcare plan & forced to either default to these "short-term"/association plans or not have any at all
