Daily Breeze-
In a naked display of political partisanship, California Democratic legislators made it clear they would prefer residents go bankrupt paying for expensive Obamacare health insurance instead of allowing Californians to purchase more affordable, short-term plans. In August, the Trump administration issued a rule that expanded short-term, limited-duration health insurance plans. Essentially, the new rule allows these plans, which existed under the Obama administration but required renewal after three months, to be carried up to a year without renewal and to be renewed for up to three years.
