Rand: Possibly news from WhiteHouse re Health Associations - within 2 weeks

Actually, yes. The HHS Sec answers directly to the President, and the way the order is written, it addresses what the Secretary "may" or "shall" do, which is merely clarifying how that is to be done. The President has issued directives based on the authority ascribed to him and the sec in the bill.

Are you talking about the EO today in the OP or what AUH20 proposed about removing the mandate via EO?

I'm talking about today's EO. Not worth a new thread for what appears to be the incremental dismantling of ACA.

yeah, todays EO was completely constitutional, randal had talked about that in depth in a number of interviews. I don't think he would have pushed for this so hard if he didn't think it was. I was referring to what AUh2o said about the mandate being next.

[euphemia]

It might well be.
