Well, here goes some details of his desperate rush to look like he's finally actually doing something about healthcare. Anyone think these rushes will convince any on the fence? Older voters, maybe? Low information voters?
Spent years trouncing and attempting to eliminate ACA, and here he is trying to claim responsibility for one of the main provisions.
More than three and a half years into his four-year term, President Trump has finally revealed something he calls his health care plan. The upcoming election against Democratic nominee Joe Biden might have something to do with it.
Part 1 of Trump’s plan is an executive order declaring Trump’s support for a law that already exists.
Part 2 of Trump’s health care plan is a request to Congress to pass legislation banning surprise medical bills... If Congress doesn’t pass such a law by the end of the year—which it won’t—Trump will try to ban surprise billing by executive order, which won’t work because the president can’t enact laws on his own.
Part 3 is some free money for seniors, if Trump can find $6 billion somewhere and reappropriate it without provoking a lawsuit. If this actually happens, you can bet the cards will have the Trump name on them, to remind recipients who’s giving them the free money. The money would supposedly come from the savings from another dubious program that hasn’t gone into effect yet, suggesting seniors may never see the discount cards.
... Beacon Policy Advisors called the new measures “several of the most bizarre executive orders that he has yet released... we expect that it will only appeal to the lowest of low information voters.”
