Trump Signs Mysterious ACA Executive Order (Updated)
Just after the confirmation of Generals Mattis and Kelly for Trump's cabinet, he signed an executive order concerning the ACA. Unfortunately, we don't know what it says.
I checked the White House website to try and get the text of the order, but this is what it looks like, 30 minutes after the order was signed.
There is some speculation.
W/o seeing ACA EO, best guess is, agency heads are directed to take any oppt'y falling to their discretion. But there are no agency heads.

In many cases, discretion falls to a secretary. The longer there is no secretary, the longer they have to wait to execute the EO.

I suppose the correct response to, "Trump just issued an executive order" is, "Says who?"
