tl;dr: republicans have pushed the CHOICE arrangement act through the house. this act which will push back regulations on "short-term" plans (which biden calls "junk insurance" because of how little they're required to cover compared to normal healthcare plans) & make them much more widespread. these plans, while cheaper, can often miss very important requirements such as prescription drugs, hospitalization, & mental health care

we called in insurance roulete when I was young. Plans only covered catastrophic things. Like being hit by a car. So we did not get it and hope nothing happened since it was otherwise useless. Don't want to see those days again. They already weakened it by taking out the mandate which the dems have no stomach to fight for and who can blame them. I doubt they will roll over tor this bullshit though.
