The Verdict True

The Trump administration had proposed regulations that will make it easier to obtain coverage through short-term health insurance plans by allowing insurers to sell policies that last just under a year. The plan will be cheaper than Obamacare because they are allowed to exclude those with pre-existing conditions and base rates on an applicant's medical history, unlike plans sold on the Obamacare exchanges. However, no comprehensive plan has been put forth by the President so far. Therefore, the claim by former Vice President Joe Biden is true.
