More states are encouraging businesses to help employees sign up for Obamacare.

They’re using a policy backed by President Donald Trump — the same Donald Trump who spent much of the fall deriding Obamacare as the “Unaffordable Care Act” — to do it.

Trump issued those broadsides to explain why he didn’t support an extension of government subsidies that made Obamacare plans more affordable for millions. Those subsidies have now expired, sending premiums soaring. But Trump has continued to support a 2019 rule issued in his first term that allowed states to offer tax credits to businesses that help employees enroll in Obamacare plans.
