A federal judge has struck down a small-business health insurance plan widely touted by President Donald Trump, marking the second setback in a week for the administration's health care initiatives.

On Wednesday, another federal judge blocked the Trump administration's Medicaid work requirements for low-income people. Trump has eagerly talked up the plans, saying they're doing record business by offering"tremendous health care at very small cost." But the Labor Department regulation authorizing them only took effect last summer, and they don't seem to have made a major impact on the market. Initial estimates said 3 million to 4 million people eventually would enroll, compared with more than 160 million Americans covered by current employer plans.
