Rhode Island Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse are opposed to a regulation that would allow the use of short-term health care plans to create what are described as junk insurance plans.  They say those plans would raise premiums for older Americans, reduce access to quality coverage and harm those with pre-existing conditions.  The Senators are urging the Trump administration not to finalize the proposed rule, and instead work with Congress to give all Americans choices for affordable health care.
