Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) revealed that he spoke with President Donald Trump on Monday and told the president that he can take executive action to allow organizations to offer more affordable group health insurance plans. Rand Paul, one of the Senate’s leading conservatives, told reporters that Trump will consider taking executive action to address the many problems with the healthcare system after Sen. John McCain tanked an Obamacare repeal bill last week.

The Kentucky senator’s proposed changes would allow groups such as AARP, which represents retirees, to form associations to allow individuals and small businesses to form larger groups to negotiate with health insurance companies for lower premiums and deductibles.

Big deal. Some federal judge/court will overturn whatever Trump does with an EO.

The courts have not exactly had success doing this with POTUS. Most of the travel ban was upheld by SCOTUS. I mean, what are you talking about one issue; the travel ban?
Okay what else?

Don’t be so cynical and lets see what happens.

Can I be cynical when that Hawaiian judge overturned Trump’s EO on immigration? The liberal courts are just sitting back waiting to overturn just about everything Trump does. Cynical? Really?

It’s one issue out of all the EO he’s signed and SCOTUS overrides the Hawaiian court and they ruled to restore 90% of the travel ban the rest to be decided later,correct?

The waiver powers were extraordinary in that it could essentially amend the law in any way the executive wishes.

The only problem with this is that without a statute, a future executive could just easily undue all of this.

But, if this is the only way for now, let’s move. “If they will not act, I will!” LOL - see if the leftists like that phrase now.

Heh. Use homobama’s favorite tool, namely the executive order, against him.

I’m still saying that those liberal court judges will overrule Trump when they see that their ideals are being overturned by Trump. Just saying.

“AARP is a leftist organization . . . I would not trust them at all.”

If you need excellent H/C policies, work with AMAC. They are the conservative answer to AARP and they do an excellent job of putting you into good H/C companies at very competitive rates/

True - but the article say "organizations like AARP" which indicates that the more conservative AARP "replacement" AMAC and some others that have sprung up for conservatives/Christians should be able to engage too.
