The Trump administration may have mixed feelings about the HealthCare.gov health insurance supermarket system — but it has named HealthCare.gov's first super broker.
The agency in charge of HealthCare.gov announced Tuesday that it will let the web broker, HealthSherpa, use a new Enhanced Direct Enrollment pathway.

If the new pathway works properly, HealthSherpa will get what amounts to a super power: It will be able to whisk customers into Affordable Care Act exchange plans, with ACA advance premium tax credit subsidies, on its own website, without handing the customers off to the HealthCare.gov website.
