Latest News To Undo The Health Law With Regulatory Action

The Trump administration is proposing changes that would let millions of small businesses and the self-employed buy health-insurance plans that don’t comply with all Affordable Care Act requirements, part of an aggressive move to undo the health law through regulatory action.

The proposal would allow businesses that share geography or an industry in common to form an association and sell members health policies that are exempt from some of the ACA’s requirements, according to a senior Labor Department official. They would no longer have to comply with an ACA rule that they offer a mandatory array of benefits, such as substance-abuse treatment.
