Comments on Proposed Short-Term Limited Duration Insurance Rule

Executive Summary

NHeLP submitted comments generally in support of the proposed rule on short-term limited-duration insurance (STLDI) plans by the Internal Revenue Service, the Employee Benefits Security Administration, and the Health and Human Services Department. The proposed changes will help promote access to high quality, affordable, comprehensive coverage by limiting short-term limited-duration insurance (STLDI) plans. At a time when millions of individuals are losing their health care during the Medicaid redetermination process, it is more important than ever that consumers be able to differentiate between the comprehensive coverage and STLDI plans that offer little protection, particularly for individuals with pre-existing conditions.
