You need legislation to do big things. If we could have fixed health care with executive orders alone, we would have done that back in 2017,” Mulvaney told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo on “Mornings with Maria.”

Trump'''s new health care initiative '''fairly limited''': Mulvaney | Fox Business

Ever since he was a presidential candidate, the administration has been promising the American people a “terrific,” “phenomenal” and “fantastic” new health care plan to replace the Affordable Care Act.

But, in the 3½ years since he set up shop in the Oval Office, he has yet to deliver. And TWO of those years, one party ran both houses and could have done whatever they wanted

And your reply has nothing to do with what I posted. Please try to read before responding. I quoted what the Constitution requires, not any Executive Order.

One reason nothing has been put forward is probably because of the deadlock for many issues in Congress. For many divided issues, the threat of a filibuster is enough to prevent any legislative progress.

You are correct. I apologize for my misreading of the post in question.

Mea culpa

Sorry, I guess.

You made a comment about what "one party rule gets you"

Guess I felt I was responding to that theme

And what about your Long Term Care? Have you considered the costs of care that is not covered by Medicare or Medicare-gap insurance? There is Long Term Care insurance available. I’m a Long Term Care Insurance specialist if you have questions; so you’re not forced to pay down your assets. Rather you can protect your assets and spare your children’s the burdens of taking care of you and forfeiting their own lives to do so. These are serious consequences for not being prepared. I’m happy to educate anyone on this topic as it’s certain that the costs of healthcare will become more and more unaffordable for all of us at any age and time of life. I purchased long-term care for my mother a few years ago and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Then I got into the business of helping others. Please reach out to me I live here in the villages but work completely remotely online now for safety reasons.

One step at a time:

Yesterday, the FDA commissioner said that it won't cave under political pressure to get a vaccine approved quickly, and that "science will guide" its decision.

But President Trump later said, 'the rules are up to me.'

If, if ACA is thrown out, we will definitely have DEATH PANELS.

Whether you live or die will not be determined by your doctors,
It will be determined by your income bracket.

That is terrifying.

Long term care is sometimes misunderstood, often maligned. That’s a shame.

Each day I’m grateful that I took care of my mother by purchasing her a good policy. It gives me peace of mind. It’s the best money I’ve ever spent and I don’t part with money easily. Today she’s emptying a warehouse, packing a uhaul (totally on her own) to drive it cross country. She’s doing too much, like she always does. As an only child, I know if there’s an accident, if she breaks her hip carrying boxes, or if anything happens unforeseen, she has a pool of $304,000 (as of Friday - I checked because I worry for her all the time because she’s so active) for a top flight facility if needed. I consider being careful, as being prepared.

I’ve noticed some wear bike helmets in the villages, some don’t. Some (like me) protect our cranium, some don’t. I’m here to help those that do.

Meanwhile as an insulin dependent Diabetic with Hypertension, I’m very sensitive to The future of healthcare due my multiple health issues. This is a very important topic.

My family insurance in '08/'09 went from affordable to unaffordable. "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor".

THANK YEW~!!! up in Ct the aca ws so unafforadable, we could only cover my husband, who was in greater need @ the time. i was without until my medicare kicked in

[BossLady]

Being self employed, in 2013 I was paying $1200. Per month and was notified that the next year’s increase would be an increase of an additional $500.00. Completely unaffordable. I am grateful for ACA. I was hospitalized 19 days over the last 6 weeks at The Villages Regional Hospital. Without ACA, I would be unable to recover financially. I’m terrified of changes in Health Care costs. A very scary issue. I’m 52. What will the future bring?

YES you are wrong to believe him. mexico will pay for wall? I'll drain the swamp?

if all those who claim to guarantee pre-existing conditions really meant they would have done something concrete. they can say anything they want now. just like Graham made a pledge about the supreme court nomination happening during the end of Trump's term---words don't matter, actions do.

Ah, strawman arguments ... when you can't defend your position.
