Administration Moves to Block Access to Health Insurance
The Trump administration is moving to make it harder for you to get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. The net effect of the proposals would be significantly greater regulatory and paperwork burdens for both consumers and health insurance exchanges, the opposite of Trump’s promise during the campaign and since taking office.
The proposed rules also would lower the percentage of expenses that insurers must cover, forcing patients to pay more for their health care.
...
About 650,000 more people would have to submit documents to verify that they can get health insurance. Among those affected are newlyweds, people switching insurance because of a life event such as losing a job and Native Americans.
This is just some of the fine print in the 71-page proposed regulation that the Department of Health and Human Services unveiled Wednesday, just days after Tom Price was sworn in as the new Health secretary. Price, a physician, has promised to gut the Affordable Care Act.

So, they're increasing regulations? I thought that they wanted to get as rid as many as possible. Oh, and they promised that everybody would have great, wonderful, fantastic, Unicorn and Rainbow-proof health insurance once they get done with ACA repeal?
My stomach sinks every time I read another story about what the Trump (mis-)Administration is cranking out on a daily basis- mostly administratively.
