Sen. Rand Paul Working With Pres. Trump on Executive Order for Health Care

OAN Newroom

One unlikely senator is working with President Trump to craft an executive order on health care reform.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul said he’s been working with the president on the order for months after the GOP has repeatedly failed to pass legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare.
In a tweet Paul said details on the order will be released soon.
This comes after the president’s tweet about using “the power of the pen” to ensure Americans have affordable access to health care.
He’s expected to sign the order this week.
Meanwhile, a new IRS report reveals Obamacare penalties are hurting low and middle income households.
Recent data shows 6.7 million households chose to opt out of Obamacare in 2015, paying a total of more than three billion dollars in penalties.
Of those households punished for not signing up, 37% reported earning less than $25,000 dollars per year and 79% earned less than $50,000.
The penalties have increased ever since the Affordable Care Act was implemented in 2014, rising from a flat fee of $95 to now $695.
President Trump says the federal mandate has failed to get more people to sign up for health insurance and must go.
