Putting Workers First Resource Page

U.S. District Court issued decision in a case challenging the Labor Department’s association health plan (AHP) rule.

The court concluded that DOL exceeded its legal authority in issuing the final rule and that the bonafide association and working owner provisions of the final regulation is contrary to law.

The assocation and working owner provisions have been set aside under the Administrative Procedures Act, and the final rule has been sent back to DOL to determine how severability provisions would affect it.

The Trump Administration just rolled back protections provided under the Affordable Care Act.

The Labor Department issued a final regulation that radically expands access to largely unregulated health insurance through so-called Association Health Plans (AHPs).

This new rule undermines the ACA by allowing AHPs to cherry-pick risks to cover and benefits to offer, leaving millions of sicker individuals at risk of losing their health insurance. It exempts AHPs from the ACA consumer protections that apply to small businesses and individuals. It permits AHPs to discriminate based on age, sex, occupation and a variety of other factors.

Trump administration allows states to establish work requirements for Medicaid recipients.

The guidance opens the door for states to impose draconian work requirements that ignore studies showing that access to health care actually makes it easier for people to secure employment.

Scores of workers and job-seekers will surely lose access to health care, complicating their ability to find jobs.

The Trump Department of Labor issues a proposed regulation that would significantly undermine the Affordable Care Act.

Shortly after the health care mandate was repealed, the Trump DOL seeks to allow insurers to offer shorter-term plans that could offer fewer benefits and charge higher prices.

Working families around the country may have health care in name only.
