Trump preparing executive order to let Americans purchase health insurance across state lines

President Trump is preparing an executive order to allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, a reform conservatives have long championed as a way to bring costs down and stir greater competition in the national marketplace.

The executive action gives the White House a chance to follow through on at least one promise related to healthcare reform after Senate Republicans' second attempt to overhaul Obamacare failed this week. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul

"I think there's going to be big news from the White House in the next week or two, something they can do on their own," Paul told MSNBC, adding that Trump "can legalize on his own the ability of individuals to join a group or a health association across state lines and buy insurance."

A nail in the coffin of Obamacare.

If Congress can’t/won’t do it, Trump will.

“The Progs are sure to lose their minds.”

You can expect lawsuits from them and their buddies in the insurance industry.

we can SAVE Obamacare, we just need to Fully Implement it and give the Uniparty exactly what they are asking for.

I believe President Trump should Call their Bluff and Force the Issue.

When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen

OBAMACARE Can be Saved!!

There are about 22 MILLION Public Employee’s Nationwide that are Ineligible for Subsidies, this infusion of New Paying Customers will SAVE OBAMACARE. the SEIU and every other Public Employee UNION fully Endorse Obamacare and have held numerous rallies in support thereof.

Let’s Give them what they want!

I believe our Public Employees deserve the Best Health Care America has to offer, and that is the Official Government Health Care Plan, Obamacare. So why don’t you quit pussyfooting around and Proudly Proclaim your desire to see that ALL Federal Employees receive the Finest, Most Affordable Health Care the US has to offer, OBAMACARE.

All the Money currently wasted on these inferior high priced cadillac plans can be diverted to the Wall.

There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:

Executive Orders or Legislation, the chance of CONgress doing it are the same as OJ Confessing, so I am choosing Executive Orders.

1. All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.

2. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.

3. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.

4. There shall be NO Medicaid Reimbursement funds allocated to any State that does not have 100% of their Public Employees enrolled in the Affordable Care Act.

And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.

Sign these 4 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.

NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???

When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen

Need pic from Schwarzenegger in the movie, “Predator” yelling, “Do it, do it!”

I can’t stand him in real life, but this would be appropriate...

President Trump, unleash the kraken!

The campaign promise will be kept but the states will not allow it to stand

State insurance bureaucracies are too powerful

The power over healthcare is not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, therefore, the power over healthcare is reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

So why doesn’t the UN pass something similar?

There isn’t any reason why we can’t share healthcare programs across countries?

Share with Canada, France, England, etc.

Why not?

I’m glad he’s doing this, but I wonder how long it will take to make its way to the Supreme Court after the 9th circuit blocks it.

This is the one major thing he is able to do to collapse the unconstitutional ObamaCare.

I love the thought.

I don’t love the method.

What can be done by the E.O., can be undone by the E.O.

Congress is just insufferable these days.

May do the opposite.

Not sure if he's exceeding his power though well intentioned.
