But it’s not clear if Buttigieg’s plan, which comes months after many other candidates outlinedpromises or satisfy progressives who want a more sweeping overhaul.
Buttigieg’s plan includes multiple provisions that take aim at politically powerful health care providers, calling for new scrutiny of nonprofit hospitals’ tax exemptions and expanding regulators’ authority to crack down on health care mergers.
Meanwhile, Buttigieg’s plan would restore an ACA subsidy program that helped insurers offset the cost of their low-income patients' medical bills.While undocumented immigrants would be allowed to buy in, it’s not clear how many would be able to afford the ACA's health plans without a government health subsidy. Some Americans also might find that coverage remains too expensive, even with Buttigieg's proposal to cap premiums at 8.5 percent of income.
