I am certainly no expert but....
" The ACA, or Obamacare, allows the federal agency to waive some regulations at the request of states. And Price said the Trump administration wanted to give more power to the states in administering the law."
"Yet some states are running into problems getting the federal government to let them do what they want by approving waivers to provisions of Obamacare.
Angry Oklahoma officials say residents there missed a chance to see their premiums drop by about a third because the federal government was too slow to act.
In Minnesota, insurance officials announced Monday premiums could drop by as much as 38 percent next year because the federal government approved part of its plan to subsidize insurers for treating expensive patients."

" Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price is gone, ushered out of office last week after being caught causing $1 million in unnecessary taxpayer expense by chartering private planes and taking military aircraft around the country and the world instead of flying commercial, like normal people.
This looks like a case in which the right thing has happened for the wrong reason — or at least for an incomplete reason. The grounds for Price’s ouster should have been his atrocious management of the most important program under his jurisdiction, the Affordable Care Act. Instead of acting to make Obamacare work better for all Americans, Price took every step within his power to undermine the law in ways that will cost American families millions of dollars."
