Short-term limited-duration plans, fixed indemnity plans & health care sharing ministries
endsYear 4Federal insurance & health law
Today
Cheaper, underwritten coverage outside ACA rules; sharing ministries are not insurance.
Under the plan
Banned as duplicative coverage for UHP-covered services; indemnity products allowed only as supplementary income protection.
Trade-off
Removes products that left people underinsured; members of sharing ministries lose a faith-based arrangement they chose.
