Trump to sign an executive order to protect pre existing conditions!

Yeah right! Who is he kidding? I have no more words for this damn idiot! I’m tired!

1. Worthless gesture

It has no legal clout if the insurance companies pull their usual stunts. Just a photo op.

6. And everyone with a pre existing condition will know it's bullshit.

But tRUMP is too stupid to realize that most of the country knows he is lying and offering a fake plan, because most people know someone with a pre existing condition.

2. He did. It doesn't.

3. Unless trump says all insurers must accept insured community rated, it won't work. I doubt he

will do that. He'll say something like each insurer must offer a community rated health plan, but allow them to offer individual experience rated plans.

That'll mean that within a few years or sooner, those without employer based insurance or Medicare/Medicaid will gravitate to experience rated system if they are in good health because it will be less expensive. Those with serious preexisting conditions will find their rates are sky high. Worse, if trump removes the 15/20% medical loss ratio in the ACA, it will be a slaughter.

Sad thing is, a lot of younger, healthier people, aren't fond of community rating where they have to pay toward the medical costs of sicker people. They are too stupid or uncaring to realize they may be on the other end someday.

And, has he said whether he'll issue an executive order to continue, or increase, premium subsidies like so many ACA enrollees have?

4. I thought he already did that?

It's just more BS from the "idiot and thief"!

5. Not worth the paper it's written on

What a desperate joke!
