And still sitting today.

And still no text of Trump's "favored nations" #drugpricing executive order.

EOs have limited authority, are difficult to enforce, take months/years to implement & can easily be challenged in court.

And International Pricing Index Model For Medicare Part B Drugs proposed rule still pending.

Still no sight of Trump's favored nations EO text

And @PhRMA said no #drugprices meetings it's aware of this week, despite Trump's claim

Oh, and that health care plan Trump has promised since 2016 - four years ago - still no sight of it yet, either.

So Americans with #PreExistingConditions will just have to keep relying on #Obamacare / #ACA, the law that granted them those protections.

Sept 3, that International Pricing Index Model For Medicare Part B Drugs proposed rule is still pending. reginfo.gov/public/do/eoDe…

Still no sight of Trump's favored nation's EO text

And nothing on Trump's schedule to meet with #pharma on #drugprices

It's into September & that health care plan Trump promised in August hasn't emerged - the same plan he's promised since 2016.

Trump is campaigning in #2020Elections to be re-elected on his unfulfilled 2016 promise.

Meanwhile, #Obamacare still covers #PreExistingConditions.

It's Sept. 4 & still no health care plan from Trump - the one he promised by end of August & the same plan he's promised since 2016.

Trump also said he would copy Obamacare's #PreExistingConditions protections into an executive order.

Nope. [plus, EOs can't replace current law]

Still no text of Trump's "favored nations" #drugpricing order [he said would be out Aug 25]

And that meeting Trump said was happening this week with #pharma & #biotech on #drugprices: NOPE!

It's Sept 9 & still no sign of Trump health care plan - the one he promised by end of August & same one he's promised since 2016. spglobal.com/marketintellig…

No sign of Trump's EO copying #Obamacare's #PreExistingConditions protections or text for favored nations #drugprcing EO.
