Under New Rules, Cheaper ‘Short-term’ Health Care Plans Now Last Up To 3 Years

“People who don’t get insurance through their jobs will now be able to buy short-term policies that may be cheaper than Affordable Care Act coverage. These plans won’t have to cover as many medical services and are exempt from covering people with preexisting conditions. The departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and Treasury announced new rules Wednesday that make it easier for consumer to replace ACA insurance with these short-term policies.”
