President Trump signs Executive Order on pre-existing conditions in Charlotte


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at helping Americans with pre-existing conditions with their healthcare coverage, among other things, during his trip to Charlotte Thursday.

The order, according to the White House, is first in American history to make it the policy of the United States to protect those with pre-existing conditions as part of the president’s newly announced America First Healthcare Plan.

This is especially important, officials say, if the Affordable Care Act is struck down. The president has repeatedly vowed to replace the ACA with a “much better plan.”

Guess a pre-existing condition executive order is all that's coming as far as a replacement plan goes.

Dims know all about peaceful transition.
They haven't accepted they got their ass beat in 2016 yet.
"...according to then DNI James Clapper, Putin anticipated that Hillary Clinton would win the election. Escalating toward vote tampering therefore could have backfired, since a Clinton administration presumably would have hit back—hard—with cyber, economic, or diplomatic penalties. By contrast, executing perception management operations brought Putin guaranteed benefits and fewer risks. (As Asha Rangappa, along with former CIA officers John Sipher and Alex Finley, have written, engaging in a polarizing disinformation campaign would have yielded returns even if Clinton had won.) Russia had executed influence operations against the United States before and would endure some costs for its sweeping 2016 operation; directly manipulating the vote would have marked a still further jump up the ladder of escalation between the two countries."

Well, the article goes on to say:

“Today I’m laying out my vision for the future of American healthcare with the America First Healthcare Plan,” Trump said. “As we restore America to full strength, the first healthcare plan will be the core part of our national renewal.”

The president said the new plan will offer “more choice,” freedom to shop for options, cost 60% less than the ACA, and will pool small business plans. He added that premiums for healthcare will be fully tax-deductible.

“And with a massive reimbursement of healthcare Millions of Americans will be able to shop for a plan of their choice in the individual market and then have their employer cover the full cost, I work to make individual healthcare premiums fully tax-deductible, that will be a big difference," Trump added.

Trump said the plan has three main pillars:

  • More choice for American patients
  • Lower cost for families and seniors
  • Better care for American patients

The president said that under the plan, 33 million Medicare beneficiaries would receive a card in the mail worth $200 to help pay for prescription drugs. He said a new rule would also allow cheaper importation of prescription drugs from Canada.

“This will be a game-changer for American seniors,” the president said.

The order states that protecting pre-existing conditions was ‘the policy of the United States’ but did not provide any legislative guarantees that Americans would not lose such protections if the ACA were nixed by the Supreme Court.
That's nice.

So part 1 of Dense donald's plan is an executive order declaring his support for a law that already exists. Except, he's fighting that law in court.

such a very stable genius

Part 2 of his fake plan is a request to Congress to pass legislation banning surprise medical bills, like those some patients get when they unknowingly get “out of network” care that’s not covered by their insurance. If Congress doesn’t pass such a law by the end of the year—which it won’t—Trump will try to ban surprise billing by executive order, which won’t work because the president can’t enact laws on his own.

its a sad state of affairs the dems desperately holding on to a horrible piece of legislation that was passed without any republican input.

Trump will fix it with or without the help of the illegal haircut botox queen

President Obama was elected by the majority of the voters in this country. Twice. With out or in spite of foreign interference. He had a mandate from the American people. Which he full filled with dignity and humbleness. No sexual lawsuit of the week like with the trump White House.
"Humbleness?" I challenge you to show me an Obama speech where he doesn't refer to himself repeatedly.

It can never be donald's fault because he couldn't possibly be a failure. It must be everything and everyone around him conspiring against him. He's already saying Tuesday's debate won't be fair.

Nearly 500 generals, admirals and former national security officials from both parties endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday, and blasted President Donald Trump as “not equal” to the challenges of the job in a letter released Thursday.

That's nice.
