Executive orders are not to be used for writing laws. They are for a president to say how he will enforce an existing law. The constitution says "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states.".

Trump preparing executive order to let Americans purchase health insurance across state lines

sep 27 2017 President Trump is preparing an executive order to allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, a reform conservatives have long championed as a way to bring costs down and stir greater competition in the national marketplace.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul first mentioned the action during a TV appearance Wednesday morning, saying Trump was considering taking matters into his own hands.

"I think there's going to be big news from the White House in the next week or two, something they can do on their own," Paul told MSNBC, adding that Trump "can legalize on his own the ability of individuals to join a group or a health association across state lines and buy insurance."

A Senate GOP source told the Washington Examinerthe executive action is considered "a done deal" and likely to be announced "in the next few weeks."

Trump later confirmed to reporters he is likely to issue an order permitting "people to go out across state lines, do lots of things, and buy their own healthcare."
 
Lol

And we will have a few giant insurance 10 years later controlling the entire market place locking the little guy out of everything. Read up on the history of monopoly! ;)

What we need to do is take profit out of healthcare and put the healthcare of all people above such. The government is the only ones that can do that.
 
The only chance this could work is by enforcing anti-trust to the ass and breaking up many of the big insurance companies...

Make it nearly impossible for them to buy out competition and only under strict government oversight. The more competition the better the chance the price of the goods provided will be driven down to a larger portion of the population.
 
Makes no sense....Will the insurance co.many from another state have a network of doctors and hospitals in my state, just for me and maybe 50 other people?
 
I think we already have that law, and ins. companies like BCBS have different laws for each state. Trump is such a brain.

Another reason why many will form massive monopolies and the problem will get so much worse by doing this.

Government at the federal level is the only way to do it that doesn't drive healthcare away from 75% of this country.

60 years ago most americans did not have health insurance and health care was just fine and MUCH cheaper than now.. Three good things happen when people pay for their own health care..

1. People take better care of themselves and when sick they doctor themselves

2. People haggle over prices

3. There is no fraud.

You know that's what we been doing for years, right?

Wrong.

Health care insurance goes back to the 1920s.

:rolleyes:
 
There is no need for a law allowing people to buy insurance across state lines.

It's already legal.

There just aren't any companies that want to sell it across state lines.

The ACA law has wording "the Secretary [of HHS] shall deem" which give the President the right to interpret the law and make legal whatever he wants regarding how ACA is implemented. Obutthole didn't want insurance bought between States. Trump does, so he will grant interstate purchase of insurance to promote competition and alleviate the suffering cost of Democrat forced healthcare.

Under your communist system of healthcare, we will not see new healthcare drugs much beyond penicillin. This will be as good as it will get.
