Trump signs executive order on health care; attracts criticism from Democrats
Donald Trump on Thursday launched what aides termed a “vision” for health care heavy on unfulfilled aspirations.“It is affirmed, signed and done, so we can put that to rest,” Trump said after signing an executive order covering a range of issues, including protecting people with preexisting medical conditions from insurance discrimination.But that right is already guaranteed in the Obama-era health law his administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissively said Trump’s “bogus executive order on pre-existing conditions isn’t worth the paper it’s signed on.” Democrats are betting heavily that they have the edge on health care this election season.
