Doak Calls on Legislature to Change Short-Term Health Plan Law

Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak wants Oklahoma law changed to help fully implement Trump Administration rules on short-term health care policies. The Trump Administration expanded the maximum duration of a short term policy from three months to 12 months. Oklahoma law restricts such plans to six months or less on a non-renewable basis.

“These final rules are intended to help those left behind by Obamacare,” said Doak. “Short-term polices are not junk, as liberals suggest, but affordable options for millions left behind in the Obamacare disaster. I’m confident we can work with state lawmakers to revamp the current law and make it much less restrictive.”

Doak plans on working with the Legislature to craft a bill to conform Oklahoma law to the new federal rules.
