Executive orders are not to be used for writing laws. They are for a president to say how he will enforce an existing law. The constitution says "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states.".
Trump preparing executive order to let Americans purchase health insurance across state lines
sep 27 2017 President Trump is preparing an executive order to allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, a reform conservatives have long championed as a way to bring costs down and stir greater competition in the national marketplace.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul first mentioned the action during a TV appearance Wednesday morning, saying Trump was considering taking matters into his own hands.
"I think there's going to be big news from the White House in the next week or two, something they can do on their own," Paul told MSNBC, adding that Trump "can legalize on his own the ability of individuals to join a group or a health association across state lines and buy insurance."
A Senate GOP source told the Washington Examinerthe executive action is considered "a done deal" and likely to be announced "in the next few weeks."
Trump later confirmed to reporters he is likely to issue an order permitting "people to go out across state lines, do lots of things, and buy their own healthcare."
