Senate Democrats are criticizing a new proposal from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The proposal allows health plans with high deductibles and limited coverage to be sold on the health insurance exchanges. Democrats call these plans "unhealthy". Criticism focuses on the potential reduction in the quality and scope of health insurance available through the ACA. The proposal was put forward by the Trump administration.
