According to Senator Rand Paul, el Presidente Trumpo is sick and tired of waiting for Republicans to get their act together, and he might just push an executive order on health care himself.
From Reuters:
U.S. Senator Rand Paul said he spoke to President Donald Trump by phone about healthcare reform on Monday and told the president he thought Trump had the authority to create associations that would allow organizations to offer group health insurance plans.
Paul, a Republican, told reporters that Trump was considering taking some form of executive action to address problems with the healthcare system after the Senate failed last week to pass a measure to reform the system.
Allowing groups like AARP, which represents retirees, to form health associations could enable individuals and small businesses to form larger groups to negotiate with health insurance companies for lower rates.
That doesn’t sound bad, but just as with Obama, if the only way you can change the law is by executive order, that means the next guy can just as easily repeal it….
