Less expensive short-term health insurance plans are coming to Corpus Christi. A federal judge is upholding the administration’s expansion of cheaper short-term health insurance plans as an alternative to the Affordable Care Act’s costlier comprehensive insurance.
A spokes person for Insurance4Dallas says, “This should reduce insurance cost and increase enrollment is rural areas such as Corpus Christi Texas. Short term policies do not come with maternity and are not guaranteed renewable. So, if an enrollee on these plans has a catastrophic event, they may be turned down at the end of the term. Nevertheless, this seldom happens and for most persons this is a welcome turn”.
In addition, U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Leon in Washington, D.C., ruled Friday that the potential downside of expanding short-term plans is “minimal” and “benefits are undeniable” for some consumers. He found that the Trump administration had the legal authority to issue rules last year making the plans more attractive to customers.
As a result, Corpus Christi health insurance plans are now good for 12 months and may be renewed for another 36 months, bringing their total coverage to 48 months. However, at the same time, these plans don’t have to cover people with pre-existing conditions or provide basic benefits like prescription drugs.
