On Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order that seeks to protect patients with preexisting medical conditions.
According to CBN News, the signing of the order took place during Trump’s visit to the swing state of North Carolina.
“My plan expands affordable insurance options, reduces the cost of prescription drugs, will end surprise medical billing, increases fairness through price transparency, streamlines bureaucracy, accelerates innovation, strongly protects Medicare and always protects patients with preexisting conditions,” he said.
He noted that it was the first-ever executive order that seeks to protect patients with preexisting medical conditions, according to US government policy.
“The historic action I am taking today includes the first-ever executive order to affirm it is the official policy of the United States government to protect patients with pre-existing conditions,” Trump said during a speech, The Hill reports. “So we’re making that official.”
By signing the executive order, Trump hopes to encourage Americans that he will guarantee coverage for preexisting conditions.
Trump’s administration has long desired to repeal ObamaCare, also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which also covers preexisting conditions. At the present time, the administration is currently asking the Supreme Court to overturn the ACA in full.
