1332 Waiver GuidanceOctober 25 2018 (most missed it due to the bomb scare)
While waivers must still provide coverage that is comprehensive and affordable, the Guidance allows waivers to allow states to provide coverage that is less affordable and less comprehensive. Meaning, a waiver may still be approved if it provides less access to comprehensive or affordable coverage, relative to the ACA, so long as the waiver continues to provide some access to comprehensive and affordable coverage. In doing so, the Guidance expressly encourages states to seek waivers to expand access to AHP and STLDI. While less costly, AHPs and STLDIs can exclude individuals with pre-existing conditions and exclude coverage for certain health benefits such as mental health, prescription drugs and/or maternity care. A state proposing a waiver for AHPs and STLDIs could now be approved so long as state residents still have access to other comprehensive and affordable coverage.

In summary, with this Guidance, HHS and Treasury show a readiness to approve proposals that were previously denied under the protections contained in the Obama Administration’s guidance. In the coming months, we expect to see states that had previously had Section 1332 Waivers rejected, seek to submit new waiver applications to have those previously rejected coverage and affordability proposals approved under this new Guidance.

Also allowing companies not to cost share insurance. Better investigate, I know all the GOP are pushing PEC's but you are going to pay big time if you are allowed ins at all. They are lying as they all voted to repeal the ACA in whole.
If you decide on a skimpy plan (cheap), watch out if you get HTN, DM, any and all conditions, soon females will pay more as well.
Yes Trump lies and lies , but we are too busy with the bomb scare, to note other minor changes. .
