President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday, Oct. 12 that would change many aspects of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. This order is a way to “start the process” of repealing and replacing Obamacare after several failed attempts to do so through legislation, most recently through the Graham-Cassidy bill.
The executive order is intended to make lower-premium plans more widely available, according to CBS news. It pushes for the expansion of access to association health plans. It could allow employers in the same line of work to join together to offer health care to employees, even if they’re based in different states.
