It’s time for a return to the Trump 1.0 regulation of short-term plans. Doing so would expand access to affordable coverage—something that would be particularly valuable to the increasing number of small-business employees whose employers have discontinued coverage.

Obamacare was back on trial this month, as the U.S. Supreme Court heard a challenge about the constitutionality of the panel that determines which preventive care services health plans must cover.

According to the Commonwealth Fund, “The case has consequences for the Affordable Care Act’s guarantee of coverage for a wide range of free preventive care.”

Preventive care is not free, even if Obamacare attempts to paint it as such. We all pay for mandated benefits in the form of higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs. And a new report from the JPMorganChase Institute shows that small employers are increasingly responding to the rising cost of health insurance by dropping it altogether.
