President Trump will sign an executive order on Thursday morning on health care after Congress’s failure to repeal ObamaCare.
The order will ease rules on small businesses banding together to buy health insurance, through what are known as association health plans, and lift limits on short-term health insurance plans, according to an administration source.
The order will direct the Department of Labor to “modernize” rules to allow small employers to create association health plans, the source said. Small businesses will be able to band together if they are within the same state, in the same “line of business,” or are in the same trade association.
Trump is expected to sign the order at 11:15 a.m.
