- President Trump is expected to issue an order to allow the sale of health insurance plans that are exempt from some Affordable Care Act rules.
- Democrats warn that the move would create low-cost insurance options for the healthy, while driving up costs for the sick and destabilizing insurance marketplaces.

Tennessee has insurance rules like the ones Trump proposed. It's not going well.

I am sure that in history one can find other examples of an administration not wanting to execute the law of the land,but strikes me that the sabotage may never have been so blatant. And because it is so blatant, it would be an impeachable offense if the current Congress wasn't so amenable to the sabotage. The point: this is challenging our system of government like never before. It's supposed to be: Congress makes the laws, Executive executes them. And if someone thinks Executive is interpreting the law incorrectly, they go to the Courts. But this is just blatant sabotage, no need for any court to interpret.
