Senate Democrats are trying to force a vote on a resolution to overturn a Trump administration rule, which went into effect at the beginning of this month, allowing for the expansion of short-term health insurance plans.
The joint resolution would invalidate the rule that the Trump administration finalized at the end of August to expand short-term health care plans to a year from under three months, with the option to renew twice.
