WASHINGTON (AP) — With a new health secretary in office, the Trump administration is proposing its first regulatory changes to the health insurance markets created by President Barack Obama’s overhaul. Among the most noticeable change for consumers: a shorter sign-up window of 45 days, as opposed to three months.
Administration officials said Wednesday the new regulations will help to stabilize the individual insurance market for next year. That could buy time for the Republican-led Congress to make good on its promise to repeal the Obama-era health care overhaul and replace it with a conservative approach.
Many of the proposed changes reflect the wishes of the insurance industry. Even so, insurer Humana announced Tuesday it will not participate in next year in the government-run marketplaces.
Human Services Secretary Tom Price was confirmed Friday.

and NOW what?! So many companies are threatening to withdraw from the market that premature collapse could focus the nation's BLAME right where it belongs: On the GOP. So they act to stabilize it.
The plan is to get rid of it over time with occasional coverage cuts, feeding constant lies and delays as needed until enough people supposedly become resigned to losing affordable unlimited lifetime coverage for all conditions. Another Katrina or terrorist attack to distract would be a great help. THEN, poof!
Their big problem now, of course, is how to stabilize it without accidentally doing too good a job. Their claim is that it cannot succeed, has to fail, was failing when they came in, and simply cannot be saved.
There really is some humor in their predicament. 
health insurance, and , so that the population doesn't have health insurance. Stabilize my ass:

And having the right wing republican led fascists wanting to privatize social security and medicare and gut medicaid, and shift the cost to the state to have them get block grants for the money. While these gerrymanders districts having these right wing fascists cut the funds back in Washington, where they work only 110 days a year like last year 2016, making $174,000 a year or $14,500 a month and make it harder for state to provide services.
But they have a plan, let the states sell insurance across state lines and compete----------------oh f**ing boy, that's what I want
While I and millions of others on Medicare pay only $137.-00 for Parts A & B a month out of my Social Security, and $33 dollars a month for Part D for drugs---------------now I ask folks, what do you want, not what they want?
Fewer sign-ups equals "failing disaster of Obamacare!"
Our government serving the people.
