New group will boost non-Obamacare plans halted by Trump administration

A group trying to boost a form of non-Obamacare health insurance for the self-employed is fighting a decision from the Trump Department of Labor that blocked the sale of the product as an abuse of regulatory loopholes.

The plans the group is fighting for aren’t widespread — only about 50,000 people use them — but they offer an alternative to Obamacare coverage for people who find it to be too expensive. A nonprofit organization, ERISA Access for the Self-Employed Alliance, or “EASE Alliance,” launched Friday to get the word out about the alternatives.
