US: Healthcare/insurance news: Politico said that "President Donald Trump today
signed an executive order aimed at allowing trade associations and other groups
to offer their own health plans - a move seen as expanding cheaper insurance

allow the sale of so-called association health plans - which would be exempt
from some of Obamacare's strict regulations - across state lines. Republicans
have long championed the idea as a way to lower insurance costs and give people
more options. But the plans could charge far less for a skimpier set of
benefits, attracting healthier customers while potentially leaving Obamacare
plans with higher-cost enrollees."
