Trump administration plans to revamp employer-based health care
By Nathaniel Weixel - 10/22/18 08:00 PM EDT

The Trump administration is set to roll out a new policy that could reshape how employers offer insurance coverage.

The proposal, which will be announced Tuesday, would lift an Obama-era prohibition on allowing more companies to provide health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs), administration officials told reporters Monday.

The proposal would allow companies to use HRAs to reimburse employees’ premiums on the individual health-insurance market up to $1,800.

The new policy would apply to small- and medium-sized companies that currently do not offer health insurance coverage to employees, administration officials said.

The proposal is the third part of President Trump’s executive order on ObamaCare and insurance competition from last fall. Two other policies from the order have already been made final: expanding the duration of non-ObamaCare short-term insurance plans, and allowing for employers to form association health plans.

If you can't take a building down all it once, removing a brick at a time becomes the alternative...

The problem with it remains that it's by EO, which can and will be changed at whim by this or future administrations.

If the Pubs keep Congress then they have to be pressured to do something substantial. If enough RINOs bite the dust then maybe they will.

Yeah, maybe.  I can't get my hopes up based on what we've seen so far.
