Senate bill helps Obamacare customers with no options

With an Obamacare repeal in congressional limbo, two Tennessee senators are introducing legislation aimed at providing relief to people living in parts of the country who have been left with no insurance options.

Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., introduced legislation Wednesday that waives the individual mandate penalty for people who live in an area with no Obamacare insurer. The bill also lets an Obamacare beneficiary use their subsidy to purchase any health insurance plan outside of the exchanges, as long as the plan is approved by the state.
