White House touts coming executive order on healthcare, saying it will 'have teeth'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's coming executive order on healthcare will "have teeth," White House adviser Kellyanne Conway told reporters on Wednesday.

Conway said that the rollout of the executive order would be accompanied by a major speech by the president.

With a re-election race underway and the country hit hard by the coronavirus, the White House is reportedly considering an executive order that could lower drug prices by linking them to the prices paid by consumers outside the United States.

"It will have teeth and I think it will be accompanied by a major healthcare speech by the president," said Conway. "And he's the healthcare president."

You mean teeth in the manner that it's going to bite us all in the ass. No one with a brain believes this idiot has any viable healthcare plan.

Trump cannot legislate healthcare by fiat, he can't produce a new program without funding, and he damn sure can't override the Affordable Care Act without Congressional approval. Just more smoke and mirrors from these carnival barkers. Do tell us Kellyanne...how does the president propose to use the SC DACA decision to support his new healthcare plan??

will ask nancy to impeach him again, so they can remove him.
Theres no way in hell they're gonna let those profit margins go for their donor class without a seriously nasty fight, and theres NO FUCKING WAY they will allow trump (of all people) to initiate that fight IN AN ELECTION YEAR.

this is more ass covering because the toddler got asked a question he didnt have an answer for. Executive Order, my ass lol

gone through the legislative process and signed into law. Trump's heavy reliance on executive orders are self promoting con jobs. There will be a lot of words, but not much substance
