But the move is drawing criticism from Republicans who say it unfairly favors a key White House ally. The issue surfaced after the administration said last week that it plans to exempt "certain self-insured, self-administered plans" from paying a new temporary fee. Both unions and business groups have complained about the fees. Health care experts say the exemption could apply to some union-sponsored health plans, though it's unclear how many. Labor officials downplay any impact as minuscule and say most of their plans would not be exempt. The Department of Health and Human Services says any proposal would consider comments from interested parties before moving forward.
