A proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) would allow small business to band together and purchase health insurance without some of the regulatory requirements that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) imposes on smaller employers.

Critics contend that it’s a way to get around the ACA requirement that plans cover essential health benefits.
