Joel White spoke with The New York Times about the Trump administration’s proposed new rules for Obamacare plans next year and how under the proposal, people who rely on the Affordable Care Act for their health insurance coverage could choose plans with much lower monthly premiums.
The administration “did what it could within the confines of the statute to increase consumers’ choice, try to keep premiums low,” said Joel White, a health policy analyst who advises Republicans.
Mr. White, the analyst, endorsed the plans without networks, saying that giving people the power to find the best deal would ultimately drive down overall health care prices. “It is hugely pro-consumer,” he said.
