Senator Mike Braun, Congressman Keith Self, and Congressman Chip Roy Fight for Affordable Insurance Plans

Today, Congressman Keith Self and Congressman Chip Roy are leading a Congressional Review Act (CRA) with Senator Mike Braun to nullify the final rule on Short Term, Limited Duration Insurance (STLDI) that was finalized on April 3rd, 2024.

“If this rule goes through, up to 500,000 Americans can lose their health insurance,” said Congressman Keith Self. “These insurance plans are designed to provide Americans with temporary, limited, and affordable health coverage while they search for more permanent solutions.”

Senator Braun remarked, “The Biden Administration has introduced a rule that would limit or take away affordable health insurance from millions of Americans. I’m proud to be leading a resolution to overturn this rule in the Senate and protect STLDI plans because Americans should have the freedom to choose the health insurance plan that works best for them.”

For almost a decade, citizens have used these Trump-Era policies to access affordable healthcare without having to go through Obamacare. This proposed rule would reduce the limited short-term plans from twelve to four months. The Foundation for Government Accountability stated that the short-term plan premiums are 59% less expensive than typical Obamacare plans.

“The Biden administration is crushing one of the last free markets contained within the Obamacare bureaucracy,” states Congressman Keith Self. “Taxpayers don't want socialism. They want freedom.”
