| President Trump Vows To Use His Pen On Health Care |
| 2017-10-10 |
| [Daily Caller] President Donald Trump declared he would get a repeal to the Affordable Care Act by executive order if he needed early Tuesday morning. "Since Congress can’t get its act together on HealthCare, I will be using the power of the pen to give great HealthCare to many people ‐ FAST," the president tweeted, suggesting that an executive order is on the way that will address health care. The House of Representatives passed a measure that would have repealed the bill nationally known as Obamacare over the summer, but the Senate remains unable to pass legislation. The latest Senate initiative sponsored by Sens. Linsey Graham and Bill Cassidy was universally condemned by Democrats, and Republicans like Sen. John McCain asserted they would never support the measure. The president reportedly reached out to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last week in an attempt to work out a deal on health care, but if the president is considering unilateral action on the matter, it’s likely the conversation produced little real movement on the issue. |

| #4 Scrap the whole thing and say that if you have pre-existing conditions and can't get coverage you'll be covered by the VA system. Then dump a ton of money into the VA (and hand the people responsible for recent VA screwup over to General Mathias to determine what should be done with them). And remove barriers to insurance between states. |
