While in White House trump and his promised new health care program;
The president told Chris Wallace in a Fox News Interview on July 19:
“We’re signing a health care plan within two weeks,
a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do.”
....................
Trump said- “We’re going to be introducing a tremendous health care plan sometime, hopefully, prior to end of the month,” Trump said during a news conference at the White House in early August, adding: “It’s just about completed.”
........................
Trump told reporters during a press briefing that there would be an executive order in the next few weeks “requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all customers.”
.............................
Trump was asked why this unilateral action was necessary when the Affordable Care Act already protects people with preexisting conditions, Trump told reporters it would be “just a double safety net” and “a second platform.”
....................................
Trump ran on a platform to overturn the Affordable Care Act, consistently vowing to abolish it.
An effort to do so in 2017 ultimately failed.
....................................
The White House on Wednesday, Mark Meadows, the chief of staff, told reporters that Mr. Trump’s health plan would be “an executive action with a legislative component,” adding:
“It’s ready.
We’ve been making a number of tweaks and modifications.
...............................................................
Mr. Trump’s pronouncements on health care have tended to adhere to a pattern: first a superlative (“great,” “terrific,” “fantastic”) followed by a vague deadline. To say they are light on details would be an understatement.
“There’s a great plan, and this will be great health care,” he declared three months into his presidency. “It’s uh, evolving.”
....................................
In May 2018, he boasted about “the plans we have coming out, literally over the next four weeks.” Twenty-four weeks later — having announced nothing — he said, “We are working many plans for health care.”
....................................
Last year, the president hedged on the timing of a health care plan, saying:
“When the plan comes out, which we’ll be showing you at the appropriate time, it’s much better than Obamacare. So when the plan comes out, you’ll see it.”
....................................
More than two months later, in June 2019, Mr. Trump told George Stephanopoulos of ABC that
“we already have the concept of the plan” and that he would
“be announcing that in about two months — maybe less.”
...................
Trump kept promising his magic healthcare plan is right around the corner. The truth: he had No plan.”
