According to Michael F. Cannon, Director of Healthcare Policy at the CATO Institute, extending ObamaCare subsidies would be like making it permanent. He suggests Congress should instead make the 2018 rules permanent, which would give people access to ObamaCare exempt planning. Cannon believes this would lower premiums by 50% or more, allow for a three-year window with reduced costs, and wouldn't destabilize ObamaCare or cost taxpayers money. He argues government should cap healthcare spending at zero and send consumers checks, allowing private insurance companies to operate without interference. #crypto
