Trump Has A New Plan To Undermine Obamacare And It Doesnt Need Congress

[n2doc]

President Donald Trump has already done a lot to sabotage the Affordable Care Act, whether it’s slashing the program’s advertising budget or threatening to cut off some payments that insurers need to cover their costs.

Now Trump is thinking about using his executive authority to do something that could be even more damaging to the law ― and, arguably, more threatening to people who depend on it for coverage.

Sometime in the next few days, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Trump is likely to instruct three key agencies to rewrite a series of regulations that affect health insurance. Some of the details were still in flux as of the weekend, sources familiar with the proposal told HuffPost. But the ultimate goal of these efforts would be to accomplish through executive action what, so far, Trump and the Republican Congress have been unable to pull off through legislation. Specifically, they would undermine the rules that guarantee comprehensive coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.

1. Then why did he tweet that he contacted Schumer to work together

and fix healthcare on Sat AM? He changes his mind every 2.5 seconds. Now wonder the country is emotionally exhausted.

I called Chuck Schumer yesterday to see if the Dems want to do a great HealthCare Bill. ObamaCare is badly broken, big premiums. Who knows!

2. He did something similar with fixing the Dreamer issue

Says one thing, does something completely different. His actions are the only thing worth paying attention to.
