President Trump signed an executive order that put an end to subsidies regarding the Affordable Care Act. Omaha Insurance Agent Art Jetter says stay tuned, as there is more to come.

Jetter says this action basically has three goals.

He says about 30,000 Nebraskans relied on those subsidies to help pay out-of-pocket medical costs.  Jetter believes the fix will give more states the right to govern and handle health care and the subsidies will return.
