NBC News: “Despite promising a health care overhaul by the end of the summer, August came and went without any such action from President Trump and his administration. He has repeatedly floated legislation that could come together ‘in two weeks,’ often using the timeframe as a placeholder for things that rarely, if ever, materialize. The president told Chris Wallace in a Fox News Interview on July 19: ‘We’re signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do.'”
“A few weeks later, he amended that statement. ‘We’re going to be introducing a tremendous health care plan sometime, hopefully, prior to end of the month,’ Trump said during a news conference at the White House in early August, adding: ‘It’s just about completed.’ That hasn’t happened. The White House claims that could change soon but declined to offer any specifics. ‘President Trump recently issued several executive orders to lower the cost of prescription drugs, including making insulin and EpiPens available at low cost to low-income Americans. There will be more action to come in the coming weeks,’ according to spokeswoman Sarah Matthews. Last month, Trump also told reporters during a press briefing that there would be an executive order in the next few weeks ‘requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all customers.'”
