WASHINGTON, United States.- American President Donald Trump will sign this Thursday an executive order on health to relax the standards of access to medical coverage in small companies, when it remains unfulfilled the President´s promise of repealing Obamacare.

According to Administration officials, the order will facilitate the rules for small businesses to join in the purchase of insurance through what is known as partnership health plans.

That document will instruct the Department of Labor to modernize standards, in order to allow employers to create health plans and to join if they are within the same state, in the same business line or in similar commercial partnership.

It will also authorize to raise the limits to short-term health coverage included in the Affordable Care Act, the so-called Obamacare, in force since 2010.
