President Trump signs executive order to let Americans purchase health insurance across state lines

[Harpy Eagle]

Yes, they were not allowed to sell across state lines before Obamacare, there were state laws in each state banning it. It doesn't have to be a federal law to ban it.

And there are still laws in some state banning it, and Trump's EO will do nothing to change that, and that is what this discussion is about. ObamaCare didn't change that either. Some states have allowed it and it was a bust.

I challenge anyone who claims to be a Conservative to explain how the Fed Govt forcing states to do so would be a conservative thing to do.

It doesn't force them, it allows them to. Overriding state laws.

Allows them to do what? They are already allowed to see across state lines if the state agrees. Will this override state laws? IF so then it is still the opposite of Conservative.

No, state laws banning sales of insurance over state lines isn't conservative, making that legal is.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

And a President can override States Laws with an EO?

Sure can.

Meet the supremacy clause.

Supremacy Clause - Wikipedia

That does not apply to an EO.

it's called the free market. no one understands that better than Trump!

Wow. Now back for Trump. Schizophrenic much?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No, state laws banning sales of insurance over state lines isn't conservative, making that legal is.

Any time the Fed Govt takes power from the states, there is nothing conservative at all being done. That is the antithesis of conservative.

Trump needs to let GEICO sell health insurance

What federal law is the proposed EO enforcing?

I want health insurance from that damn lizard. It's not enforcing a law. Get that out of your head, it has nothing to do with any federal law. It's telling insurance companies they can sell over state lines, no matter what. It's opening up the insurance market on a nationwide scale.

Insurance companies can already sell across state lines if the states agree to it. The Fed Govt should not force states to agree to such a thing, it should be up to the states. Anything other than that is just more socialist policies.

The Lizard does not sell health insurance you idiot.

It is illegal and will be struck down.

Cons really have no problem with this piece of orange shit pretending he is a king. And Republicans in Congress have ceded their authority under the Constitution. Pucker up cons, November 2018 is a year away.

That's rich, you're a moron. The first year Obama changed the rules 41 times by fiat.

No shit, sherlock it was a joke dumbass.

EO's are legally binding orders from the president. They will override any state laws they are addressing.

Obama wrote an EO that overturned federal immigration law.

(sigh) The "across state lines" lie is a canard. It will do NOTHING to lower premiums.

Executive Orders (EOs) are legally binding orders given by the President, acting as the head of the Executive Branch, to Federal Administrative Agencies.

States are not Federal Administrative Agencies. EOs have no power over them at all

 

[airplanemechanic]

The are GENERALLY issued to federal agencies.

They do not HAVE to be.

Executive Orders are issued by United States Presidents and are generally directed towards officers and agencies of the U.S. federal government.

Executive Orders are issued by United States Presidents and are generally directed towards officers and agencies of the U.S. federal government.

But they only hold power over federal agencies, they have no power over a state. The one's that are not directed at federal agencies are typically proclamations and other such crap.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Then can you explain why Obama's "DACA" forced states to comply?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Then can you explain why Obama's "DACA" forced states to comply?

States do not have the power to decide who is in the nation legally and who is not. Immigration laws are federal laws. All DACA did was give guidance to the USCIS as to classify certain individuals. The states had nothing to do with that process.
