The Trump administration on Monday created new exemptions to ObamaCare’s individual mandate, part of a slew of changes unveiled in regulations for the law’s marketplaces next year.
Trump officials said that while the health-care law remains on the books, they are doing the best they can to work within their authority to open up new flexibility for people.
The mandate changes would exempt people from having to pay the penalty for lacking insurance if they live in a county with no insurers offering coverage or only one insurer, or if the only insurance plans available cover abortions, in violation of their beliefs.
The mandate has been repealed by Congress for everyone starting Jan. 1, 2019, but this change would provide new exemptions while it is still in effect this year.
