President Donald Trump said that he is intending to pursue an executive order to require health insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions.

“Over the next two weeks I'll be pursuing a major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all customers,” Trump said at a news conference at his golf property in Bedminster, New Jersey. “That’s a big thing. I’ve always been very in strongly in favor—we have to cover preexisting conditions.”
