Trump To Repay Americans For Biden’s Obamacare Overcharges– thefederalist.com

The Trump administration recently announced a proposal to issue payments to individuals that makes a good deal of policy sense. No, I don’t mean the proposal for $5,000 rebate checks, which has myriad policy and political flaws.

But refunding excess user fees for people enrolled in Obamacare Exchange plans would help offset rising premium costs. And lowering user fees in the future would also mitigate against future premium increases. Depending on the details, this policy may also provide targeted relief to those affected by last year’s expiration of enhanced exchange subsidies.
