Trump Vows Coverage For Preexisting Conditions — As He Fights To Kill It In Court

President Donald Trump’s promised leap forward in well being care protection seems find it irresistible may well be insurance coverage coverage for preexisting stipulations. One sticking level: It’s already assured by means of the Affordable Care Act — which his management is combating to kill within the Supreme Court.

“Over the next two weeks I’ll be pursuing a major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all companies,” Trump crowed at a information convention Friday at his Bedminster golfing lodge in New Jersey. “That’s a big thing. I’ve always been very strongly in favor. We have to cover preexisting conditions.”

The information was once so “major” that it was once touted in an legitimate White House tweet.  

Trump claimed it’s “never been done before.”

But it’s been carried out sooner than. Health insurance coverage firms were required to hide other people with preexisting stipulations ever because the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare, was once enacted 10 years in the past.

To put an additional head spin at the complete incident, Trump’s Department of Justice argued sooner than the Supreme Court in June to close down the ACA with its assured protection for preexisting stipulations. It even in particular singled out protection for preexisting stipulations as one thing that’s were given to head.

If the motion towards Obamacare by means of Trump’s DOJ succeeds, some 20 million Americans would lose their medical health insurance amid the COVID-19 disaster.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo slammed Trump’s vow as a “dangerous lie.”

Coverage for preexisting stipulations is “already the law of the land,” he stated. Now, “not only is he lying to you about giving you something you already have, he’s actively trying to take it away,” Cuomo added.

Twitter went bonkers over Trump’s announcement.
