The ACA also says that insurance companies can't hike rates on those conditions. trump's EO doesn't. So…protecting preexisting conditions, but the ins cos can price you out of coverage, that's protecting the people of this country?

Q: Why do you need to sign a EO to protect pre-existing conditions when the Affordable Care Act already protects them?
