Pelosi Slams Trump Executive Order As An 'Insult' To Those With Preexisting Conditions

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted President Donald Trump’s latest executive order on health care, saying his pledge to protect Americans with preexisting conditions was not “worth the paper” it’s printed on.

The White House unveiled a new executive order on Thursday amid ongoing attacks from Democrats over Trump’s effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The president vowed the new pledge affirms that “it is the official policy of the United States government to protect patients with preexisting conditions.”

But Trump failed to note those with preexisting conditions are already covered by U.S. law.

“President Trump’s bogus executive order on preexisting conditions isn’t worth the paper it’s signed on,” Pelosi said in a statement Thursday. “It is an insult to every family with someone with a preexisting condition that President Trump thinks he can get away with this farce while he races a justice onto the Supreme Court to strike down the lifesaving protections enshrined into law by the Affordable Care Act.”

Trump runs around to the front of the parade to pretend that he's been leading it all the time. Watch for him to take credit for coverage of pre-existing conditions at the debates.
