Trump promised a health care plan before the end of August. It never came.

President Donald Trump has long promised to release a health care plan that could replace Obamacare, but with just two months to go until the election, he has yet to do so, with his latest self-imposed deadline passing without a plan.

In an August 3 press briefing, Trump said his health care plan would most likely be released before the end of the month. But August came and went and the President never released a plan. It marks the latest instance of Trump promising an Obamacare solution that never came.
"I do want to say that we're going to be introducing a tremendous health care plan sometime prior -- hopefully, prior to the end of the month. It's just completed now," Trump said at the time. "We'll be doing, sometime during this month, the health care plan. And I think that'll be before the end of the month. And I think it'll be very impressive to a lot of people."
In an interview with Fox News in July, Trump said he would be signing a "full and complete health care plan" within two weeks.

The President also said on August 7 that he was pursuing an executive order that would require health insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions.
"Over the next two weeks, I'll be pursuing a major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover all pre-existing conditions for all customers. That's a big thing. I've always been very strongly in favor -- we have to cover pre-existing conditions," Trump said during a briefing at his Bedminster golf club. "So we will be pursuing a major executive order, requiring health insurance companies to cover all pre-existing conditions for all of its customers."
No such order was signed.
Asked about these plans, the White House did not provide specifics in a statement Saturday evening.
