President Joe Biden is rolling back a Trump-era policy that expanded the availability of limited health insurance policies that are exempted from coverage requirements under the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as “Obamacare.”

These limited health insurance policies, commonly described as “short-term” policies and referred to by President Biden as “junk health insurance,” are policies that may provide a limited range of coverage.
