Federal District Court blocks another Trump attempt to undermine Obamacare.

Excerpts:

The decision hits a Labor Department rule designed to make it easier for small businesses to band together and buy health insurance in so-called association health plans -- one of the Trump administration's initiatives to weaken Obamacare by offering alternatives to the exchanges.

The Labor rule, finalized last June, stems from an executive order President Donald Trump issued in the fall of 2017 after congressional efforts to repeal Obamacare fell apart. The association plans don't have to adhere to all of Obamacare's regulations.

"This court victory proves again that just because President Trump doesn't like the Affordable Care Act, his administration cannot get away with illegal maneuvers to ignore the law," said Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, one of the officials who brought the suit.

:The final rule is clearly an end-run around the ACA," Bates said in his decision. "Indeed, as the President directed, and the Secretary of Labor confirmed, the final rule was designed to expand access to AHPs in order to avoid the most stringent requirements of the ACA."
