The executive order is a victory for Republican Senator Rand Paul. The Kentucky Senator has been pushing for the expansion of association health plans. He wants people to have choices to purchase lower-cost health insurance.
On Thursday, Sen. Paul said, Today is a big day. President Trump is doing what I believe is the biggest free market reform of healthcare in a generation.” He also said, “I commend the President for having the boldness, the leadership, and the foresight to get this done,”
According to the senator, millions of people will get health insurance across state line at an affordable price if the reform works and goes as planned. He noted that 28 million people are left behind by Obamacare.
He also stressed that the executive order targets people who do not have health insurance or those with expensive coverage.
