President Donald Trump delivers remarks on healthcare at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020, in Charlotte, N.C.
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. Trump returned to health care amid disapproval of his administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and growing uncertainty about the future of the Obama-era law.
The clock has all but run out in Congress for major legislation on lowering drug costs or ending surprise bills, much less replacing the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare.” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Trump’s executive order would declare it the policy of the U.S. government to protect people with preexisting conditions, even if the ACA is declared unconstitutional. However, such protections are already the law, and Trump would have to go to Congress to cement a new policy.
“So, after 20 years of national public policy debate and hard-fought congressional and presidential approval, how does Trump conclude he can restore these protections, should the Republican Supreme Court suit overturn them, with a simple executive order?”Prescription drug inflation has stabilized when generics are factored in, but the dramatic price rollbacks he once teased have not materialized.
🤔🤔🤔why It's going to the Supreme Court a week after the election, he's choosing a judge that he's trying to get on the Supreme Court before the election, and the court case is to dismantle the Affordable Care Act especially preexisting conditions. 🤔🤔🤔
I wanna know how many people dismissing this movement actually needed /had to be on Obama care because when I was a single mother I didn’t have a choice and let me tell you it was not affordable.
Like Obamacare does, since 2010
Wait. ACA already covers. And trump at scotus tryna kill aca. Right wing media jumping to hoodwink like a trump and 22M More Americans to suffer.
Trump has about as much vision as a blind person has sight!
Really America you believe this POTUS and the GOP senate. These guys are notorious tap dancers. With No clear direction. This government can not be trusted. Can you America really relive this nightmare another 4years if you are not careful martial law will be declared it’s coming
TrumpFailed lies BidenHarrisLandslide2020
Let's not forget about surprise billing against those with preexisting condition under the Affordable Care Act. Wait, you did forget to mention that. But you will fool those who will not educate themselves, and fall victim to your biased views and twisted stories. WakeUpAmerica
He LIES for votes 🤮🤮
He’s a damn hot mess. Panicking like a cornered animal. Dangerous.
This order is a ploy. There is no regulatory power the executive has to protect people if their insurers can legally charge them. Which insurers will legally be able to do as soon as the ONLY consumers legal protections (the ACA) are overturned.
So he is protecting preexisting conditions from who? The people that put them there to begin with? So is he trying to imply that someone said they are going to take that away? Wow! And to know that some people actually believe this BS.
WARNING: Trump's FAKE health care plan is JUNK INSURANCE via Oscar Health, owned by Jared Kushner's brother, Joshua. Monthly premiums are $742.16+ Families MUST PAY $24,488.84 per yr. DEDUCTABLE BEFORE emergency room / regular doctor's visits are covered. RiggedInsurance
He stores his daily lies in his vagi fold.
Boo Hoo Hoo.
Nutty
Awesome!! Thank you realDonaldTrump! Did you hear what he did, The Hill, Politico, CNN, MSNBC, & other FakeNewsMedia? He’s PROTECTING PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS!! So you can stop with your lies & fear mongering!
SEATS4STIMULUS POTUS AmodeiForNevada MarkMeadows RepChrisStewart SenSchumer SIGN THE Executive order for stimulus checks!! 👀⛔️💰⛔️🪑
Some fucking headline. He’s keeping pre existing conditions, we all knew he was but the asshole media did it’s best to scare the shit out of people and make them think he was getting rid of it. stop your bullshit already.
TRUMP had a “vision”well we know how this GOP is all talk they definitely never mean a word they say. A vision is not a plan,it’s a distraction! Fact We were warned 2016 LadyG -he offered his words too-He said we can use his words against him and we’d be absolutely right Words
HE IS ROBBING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS BLIND AS HE KILLS US!
he is a large bag of ****.
Expert view. Trump has no plan.
The ol’ bait and switch. Con-man 101. And you suckers fall for it every time.
Symbolic = not worth paper he scribbled on.
He’s taking the only good part of Obama care and guaranteeing it, the rest of obama care is trash
4 years in and all he has is an executive order and a vision..
🤔It is almost like his promise for middle class tax breaks (he prioritized wealth tax breaks) at the midterm elections 🤦🏻♀️😣😔TrumpChaos DoBetter
HollidayOkie What other type of 'visions' is realDonaldTrump experiencing these days?
Americans are fools if they fall for this stunt. Trump is playing people for fools. TrumpLied200KAmericansdied

How come Trump is making executive orders over preexisting laws. We have a Health Care Law. You can't just make an executive order over that. Else we do not have a Democracy. We have a king.
Trump Lie about the Coronavirus because he didn't care about our health. He is lying again. EvangelicalsForTrump CatholicsforTrump WomenForTrump HispanicsForTump FlaPol FlaDems HCFLDems VoteBlueFL GenXForWarren BlackLivesMatter LatinosMatter
If this was true, he’d withdraw his lawsuit trying to dismantle pre-existing conditions
nixonron An Executive Order that does nothing - just like him.
Now the US ACA law is approved by the current president of United States. Since, pre-existing conditions is already in the ACA. No court, in the USA, can take it away. No Americans are harmed by ACA. No personal bankruptcies are caused by ACA. No one will be able to gouge America
His pretend vision. Got it.
BREAKING NEWS: President Trump to sign Executive Order granting Alaska statehood. 🥴
Get ready for the death of health care. Next will be social security , follow by equal protection under the law.
👌🏻 description: “President Trump signs executive order that aides say advances his health care 'vision,' including protecting people with preexisting conditions. That is already guaranteed in the Obama-era law his administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn.”
What a hypocrite- does zero. He is fighting to destroy health care AND pre-existing conditions
Because he has no healthcare plan he’s promised to share “in two weeks”. Both of these are meaningless and have no authority over heath insurance plans. He’s a fraud (once again).
Obamacare doesn't exist
What about reporting the news and not brainwashing people you are only hurting people who believe the news is worthy which it no longer is
He can get rid of the shit in Obamacare & keep protection for pre-existing conditions.
realDonaldTrump we already knew that. Trump is just copying his predecessor. What else is knew.
We all know you wish you were half the President Obama was. Try again
So, much like NAFTA, he is trying to claim that the (preexisting) plan was his brain child! People who believe his nonsense already have preexisting conditions...it’s called stupidity!! TrumpIsALaughingStock
He is tweeting he is lying
Trump already said in 2016 that he would leave it up to states to decide this coverage. If Republicans manage to do away with Obamacare, what is assurance that Trump and Senate would include federally mandated coverage for pre-existing conditions. Covid patients all need this.
When did we make him King? Are EOs limitless? I’m sure Obama would have preferred to just sign a piece of paper rather than work through our Constitutional process. 🤦♂️
Vision? It’s more like a nightmare🤣
Another day another “fake” executive order so Trump and his administration can look like they did any work to help Americans
It doesn't even matter....it's basically a piece of paper....what a waste!
JulieFedup This ad was put up by republicans as a scare tactic but look at the comments! Overwhelming support for the public option! $2300 a year vs $12,000 a year most families are paying private insurers right now!
JulieFedup They’ll just eliminate lifetime limits and kick them off anyway!
What else will be executive order now? Drive on right side? Free elementary education?
Why do t you talk about the disasters that will happen to the loss of the ACA
Didn't Obama already fix this issue? Is his staff not telling him he is running over the same ground?
My husband and I can't get insurance, due to pre existing. Told we qualify for help, NOT.... Double rates, luckily we got insurance through hubbys work. I hate insurance.
What a farce.. ‘.. advances his vision..’ Its already part of ACA, why is the media giving any credit to the wackadoodle in office? C’mon?
Just tell him they got rid of Obamacare, start calling it Trumpcare, and he’ll be happy and too stupid to realize nothing has changed.
About as effective as an Executive Order declaring coffee is the National Breakfast Beverage ☕️
The A in ACA should not be affordable
as usual, he’s lying...
So basically, Heil Myself.
So how long will it take for mainstream media to challenge him on this? My guess is never....
WendellPierce Right, and after the second elections (hope not!) he will cancel the bill asap (LIC). 🙄
I love how he thinks we're stupid TrumpTrainwreck TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks TrumpForPrison2020
mariamaria4848 Hahahahaha hahahahaha ha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha ha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha
So you are basically giving us the ACA?
Campaign promise, nothing more. These 'Executive Orders' carry no weight, do nothing for people w pre-existing conditions or crushing medical bills. He made this same promise in 2016 & has spent the past 4 years in court trying to repeal ACA, which *does* protect us.
animal_lover365 all true
Is there an election looming, perchance? The UK Tories do this too, in election run-ups - pull policies out of their arses that sound great but a) don't really do enough and b) they have no intention of sticking to if they win anyway.
WendellPierce
Trump aides make false claim of signing a symbolic EO advances and makes good his promise of a day 1 priority on healthcare. Quit pulling punches media.
WendellPierce Meaningless bullshit.
morgfair It’s pretty much the same promises he made during the 2016 election. Four years later he is still promising with no legislation in front of Congress. His executive orders aren’t law
morgfair Trump: time in office - done Time destroying America - done Time making Americans look ridiculous - done. Time for his marriage - done Time his family stopped sucking the teats of America - done Time as a free man - done BidenHarris2020
how about when obama said we could keep our same doctor is that still guaranteed?
But, we don't know what his health care vision is, do we?
The current ACA law covers PreExistingConditions at less than before ACA. In November Trump wants the courts to repeal the ACA. All he offers as a replacement is an Executive Order that is nothing more than a policy statement with no teeth in it.
Overturn something, reinstate it later and claim credit. Brilliant con move.
Was this before or after he had grudge against John McCain for a thumbs down
So this means, he is in favor and supports health care in the area of preexisting conditons. Because when AFA is found to be illegal and goes away, GOP does not want America to lose this guarantee. It is a good thing, right!
His health care vision is to pander before the election and then forget afterwards.
So NOW he has finally come up with a healthcare plan He promised that 4 years ago. Is he hoping to win more voters? For giving protection for what is already in place.... He is a moron
realDonaldTrump - vision is just words, no action. This was a promise in 2016 that has gone unfulfilled. This President does not care about American families and our well-being. He has already killed 200000 of us and sent millions unemployed.
Trump is desperate!
This fool has NO PLAN and he’s banking on Americans to be ignorant. He should try targeting smart people. Oh wait.....they’re already on the BidenHarris2020 bandwagon because they aren’t dumb enough to fall for his lies. 🤡
soofriends How pathetic is that, he🤡 wants to destroy what is in place only bc he is jealous of Obama. Simple
Thank you for your opinion/logic AP. But just because he wants to keep the preexisting conditions element doesn't mean that every part of Obamacare is magically perfect.
Attempt at more votes
Trump still has no plan, and if he REALLY wanted to protect preexisting conditions, he’d call on his DOJ to withdraw the lawsuit that’s headed for SCOTUS in November! Trump is a liar!
Basically those 2 EOs are worthless. ACA already protects against pre-existing & many other schemes against the insurers.
Greatest President ever!
See, nytimes? That is how you write a fact check into a headline with room to spare. Take notes.
Well then it’s a great thing that he is making sure that part of the law stays in place and we get rid of the unfair tax to Americans that was forced upon them. Trump2020LandslideVictory
Trump is doing everything he can to steal the election.... Thank you President Obama and Joe Biden, for making healthcare a RIGHT for all Americans! VoteBidenHarris2020
Campaign stunt
Dude re-gifts what Obama already gave us...
gut these fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump and his ilk with CrimesAgainstHumanity
Another one of his executive orders to nowhere.
Basically he just want to change it from Obamacare to Trumpcare
Are people really so stupid to fall for this?
WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!!
Written in crayon and not worth the paper he wrote it on.
More 🐂💩!
There's nothing whatsoever new announced here, at all. Repeating the pledge of 'maintain and build upon existing actions' over and over is not a plan. Look at the smoke and mirrors yourselves:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
While he sues to also take them away. How is this a thing that happens regularly now.
I think there's more to this story. You guys need to start looking deeper.
Trump is DESTROYING a wonderful Country. Another BANKRUPTCY for him and HE has many Republican Accomplists. ? The GOP killed America !!!
The BIG PHARMA PROJECT SORCERER'S APPRENTICES LOCK DOWN UNLOCK VACCINATE to accept : a Social Human Biological ' DISTANCIATION ' society of control-eugenics-transhumanism Then HUMAN MERCHANDISE BRAVE NEW WORLD ?
tRump DID NOTHING BUT SHOW HE CAN scribble his name. 👹👹👹👹
Lame AF.
205,000 dead Americans on Trump’s watch. Abject failure.
If it holds, he will say, 'See how I saved you from pre existing conditions?
This man smh, just really running out of words or descriptions of him, let's face it people he has NOTHING!! Basically running on Obamacare that he is trying to take away in court. Unbelievable smh
Try reading it
realDonaldTrump's new healthcare plan: TrumpCare
A real hypocrite.
2 weeks!!!😂😂😂
The no health plan, health plan.
MAGA turds going to puffing about this despite it being already a thing.
Given that most of Trump's 'executive orders' are just PR distractions aides provide, to appease Trump by making him think he's actually running the government, it's pretty much just another useless diversion.
Purposely confusing most folks who just don’t understand what is right in front of them. This is how he wins. Shame on us for letting knowledge take a back seat to reality TV
Cry much
It took him four years to have a “vision” of a healthcare plan? At this rate he should have something by around 2035.
Is this news or another AP editorial masked as news?
Vision my ass!! He can't even fuckin see his feet!!
Now, why don't I believe him?
Trump needs the executive order to keep the good parts of an overall bad (& unconstitutional) law. This makes sense.
It has no vision.
Gee will they be like his orders in July he took pictures signing and then forgot about?
yeah you can get a new healthcare system and keep elements of the old one
BEWARE 'his vision'
An executive order is not a health care plan. We already have a health care law called the Affordable Care Act. ~ Trump is a racist sociopath who can’t stand the fact that his black Democratic predecessor implemented the ACA. Obamacare A real plan, we’ll keep it.
Suddenly he is everything to everybody. What a fake! He will never implement any of this!
Meaningless bullshit
Come on really It’s only a vision 😂 he is a lier!!
Democrats free healthcare for illegals will bankrupt our healthcare system
Obamacare is unconstitutional and ineffective.
GOP have zero medical insurance credibility.
Notice how the press no longer just reports the news, but adds their own commentary.
Like offering to guarantee the sun will come up tomorrow ... in the east.
He is playing king. realDonaldTrump
He's full of shit
Many in MAGA are saying what a joke it is! It is not even a law... passed by a legislative branch... and then signed or vetoed by an executive branch. Crazy, right! MAGA is such a bunch of crazy constitutionalists, insisting that laws get passed and not signed by king's decree!
So he covered pre-existing conditions. And you still find a way to complain. You sick
“Vision” more like a nightmare where everyone dies from cancer
I'll order what's already law, that I'm trying to undo what's already there & what I just signed, leaving you with nothing but a special signing pen & TP that will give your bum paper cuts. Very Trumpy.
An executive order for a Vision? Lol. So he is signing wish lists now?
What crappy reporting
A bad businessman,Trump swamped all of his businesses and put thousands out of work in New York, and New Jersey! If he had managed all of this virus properly he would have asked us in early February to PLEASE MASK UP FOR A MONTH! If he had most would be alive and back at work
So overturn it to put it back with his name on it? Petty AF but typical of trump
Key word 'vision' He has nothing written in stone, just empty promises. My 'vision' is to report in person on November 3 and vote Blue down the line.
3 1/2 years later and 39 days before the election Healthcare is still too 'complicated' for Trump to understand. Who knew?
It's like the idiotic space force Or the dumb wall He wants a health care plan with HIS NAME on it NOT Obama's. It's ego, not help.
We don't need a vision we need coverage tomorrow. That's what we need. All of us.
Makes it up as he goes.
Is this your healthcare plan. This already exist
Just another autograph someone can sell.
The difference is he wants competition to drive down the prices. Less governmental regulation and red tape. There is nothing in the world that will sell me on any amount of government handling every aspect of the choices I make. Nothing...
I thought he sign something like this a month ago?
He’s so dumb.
Abt SCOTUS: This is what 53 GOP Senators will be voting FOR: **ELIMINATE**: * ACA & coverage of pre-existing conditions * remaining food, , medicine/drug, air, water & natural resources protections * Roe v Wade privacy & reproductive Rights * Voting Rights, ERA Amendment pathway
Trumps healthcare is exactly the same as the ACA he just wants the ACA repealed so it can be named after him instead of Obama.
He’ll win his lawsuit which has zero to do with the pre-existing feature of the failed Obama care system. The issue at hand is the unconstitutional mandate. Well done POTUS. Another win.
How is this different from ACA?
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”
He can remove Obama's name and add his, don't give a crap as long as he keeps in place for people who don't have coverage.
It’s been 4 years and republicans have been talking about this for 6-8 years. Can we just admit that if they spent half the time they spent complaining about Obamacare actually coming up with an alternative this could have been done
An unenforceable Executive Order is NOT a promotion of an actual Healthcare plan. The plan must be presented in detail. Let us know when the House gets those plans.
Stop nit picking. Run this story instead:
realDonaldTrump FlushTheTurdNov3rd ByeDon2020 GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPComplicitTraitors
Executive Order? Wait. Seriously?
If you believe that executive order has any significance, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Take time to look at his executive orders and what impact they have had on our lives. Just more of the Trump/Republican con.
Tomorrow he will pass an executive order to end prohibition.
THIS IS A GOOD TWEET! Thank you,
Don’t let Trump take away our pre- existing conditions clause of our healthcare law. He is currently in court attempting to obliterate Obamacare.
With ObamaCare in place this executive order is a waste of his time. Pre Existing conditions are already covered. (you would think this self proclaimed genius would know this)
So, doesn't this make the case going before the Supreme Court on 11/14 moot? Won't the justices look at this and confer that trump is trying to get rid of the very thing is has just signed an EO for? I hope they slap the suit down.
Remarks on the Trump Administration Healthcare Vision Alex M. Azar II Better Medicare Alliance July 23, 2019 Washington, D.C.
We already have it. He's lying. Piece of garbage. Get with the program trump. So, I guess this also includes trump with his preexisting conditions of LUNATIC. Sorry not covered. Do people have Medical Coverage in JAIL? 😠
More hot air. Turn it off.
Hey dementia don , pre-existing conditions have been a part of Obamacare for 9 years.
reverts healthcare laws.. then reinstates the same ones saying they are his own ideas.. and his retarded fan base will cheer it.
realDonaldTrump executive order of not carry the weight of law
No it doesn’t, it’s just more Mexico will pay for it “you will see..”
Vision? WTF am I going to do with a vision?
Assuming media coverage will dwell on the desperation of the stunt and the over-the-top hypocrisy given *relentless* Republican efforts to kill the ACA?
Maybe the trump administration will sue the trump administration to get rid of the preexisting mandate.
The best lie delivered by Trump's executive order today! Fake healthcare plan!
I wish CNN, MSNBC, and anyone else that could, would just run a Trump lie/fact check ticker across the bottom of the screen from now until 11/3.
When has anything he's said or done not convoluted and contradictory?
He says that because the left wing loonies repeatedly keep saying he's going to do away with pre-existing conditions.
AP= 🤮
Accurate and succinct tweet imo. Well done.
Lol.....Trump is weak, cannot hear good, cannot walk without tripping and cannot stand at podium without leaning. Has memory loss, Cannot ride a bike like Biden and is only good at lying all the time. DumpTrump2020
Its a vision alright. Another shimmering mirage of trumpvision
Fantastic move by this president. Obamacare has been a disaster. Fully support him for Re-election 🇺🇸
So all of this is really to get rid of the name Obama on the Bill - and call it something else? Say the unaffordable health act?
Is he so angry that the ScaryBlackMan in the Tan Suit did it before him and better?
Under Obama I went from keep my doctor to only one doctor available that takes the plan and a three month wait for an appointment.
Wow. You almost did it. You almost had a good headline but then you fuckednit up at the end. You simply can't get your tds under control enough to be happy pre-existing conditions are protected in his 'vision' as well. Pathetic.
this is a legit as trump university...
Over 5 years since he started his first campaign, and the most he has so far is a “vision?”
No executive order is needed. The ACA already covers all of that.
Meaningless. It's just like him promising something, utterly worthless.
Dummy bait. You say that pre-existing is already in ObamaCare... as if that's all that matters here. Look at the rest of the comparison between the plans, folks. Don't let these corporate stage magicians trick you ANY MORE. They LOVE that you buy their BS over and over again.
So, we keep the protect but get rid of O-care. Good to go!
Lol somewhere a Trump supporter with bronchitis and emphysema is celebrating
FACT: With a 45 year track-record, TRUMP IS A LIAR WHO CAN NEVER SAFELY BE TRUSTED AGAIN. His taped voice 2/7, 3/19 & 4/13 is proof. UNCONSCIONABLE FACT: ~7M INFECTED ~205K DEAD Voters know Biden is smarter, more honest, level headed, & cares more about all people than Trump!
He and other republicans aren’t against the ACA they just don’t like that Obama passed it.
It will take Joe two years to undo all this damage.
What a dumb headline, how about all the other bs that O-Care f’ed?
POTUS44 already made sure Pre-Existing conditions were covered. realDonaldTrump is in court trying 2 throw out law protecting preexisting conditions. If Trump were serious, he wouldn’t be in court. He’s fooling nobody but fools who support him. WhoRTheCriminals.
So what happens when the Supreme Court takes up his case in court.. does it in validate his executive order as well as obamacare?
Yes, but now he can push to overturn the ACA and Democrats can’t plausibly complain he’s eliminating coverage for pre-existing conditions.
He did this because he expects the ACA will be stuck down by the revised Supreme Court, pre-existing condition protection is the only provision people care about and therefore no ACA replacement is actually necessary...
He'll just revoke it after the election
