COMMENT TODAY - Trump Admin. Proposal for Affordable Coverage

DEADLINE: Monday, April 23 - 5:00 p.m. EST

Please take just 5 minutes to comment on the Trump administration’s proposed rule to restore an affordable health insurance option. Obamacare supporters are taking the opportunity to lambast it. They are saying “no.” We’re asking you to say “yes.” 

Give the Trump administration the support they need to restore affordability to those who need it. 

The proposal is called Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance. These policies were not supposed to be affected by the Affordable Care Act, but the Obama administration shortened them to just 3 months to try to get more people in the ACA exchanges where premiums were/are sky-high. Now the Trump administration wants to expand these affordable policies to 12 months or longer. 

To comment before the deadline, go follow these instructions.
