However, critics call these plans "junk insurance" because they're often misleading as far as what they actually cover. ABC News reports that the plans aren't required to cover those with preexisting conditions or pay for prescription drugs. In 2018, Trump expanded short-term plans and referred to them as "much less expensive health care at a much lower price.". Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, said that Trump undermined the Affordable Care Act (ACA) when he allowed insurance companies to sell inadequate short-term plans.
