He does not have the authority as he is not an autocrat to order the insurance companies to sell insurance to people with pre-existing conditions. He does not have the authority to tell insurance companies to sell policies at the same price to those who are well and those who are ill or potentially ill. He has supported a bill which specifically deals with pre-existing conditions and which allows the insurance company to charge whatever premium they wish to those who are unwell. The bill also guts the required coverage of the basic insurance. Right now carriers are required to cover medications. Delete that coverage and see what the effect might be on people with diabetes or cancer.

Gut the ACA and have nothing to replace it. Makes you wonder.
