President Donald Trump this week shared a message he received from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., offering to partner on a plan that would allow Americans to purchase health insurance through alternative markets.
“I know we have been at odds recently but in ur first term you signed an executive order to legalize Association Health Plans (that allow individuals to buy collectively health insurance via Costco, Amazon, or Sam’s Club),” Paul’s message read. “This collaboration brought us together and still holds the promise of lowering insurance premiums.”
“It did not succeed because Dem AG’s fought it in court. We could pass it in Congress today, with ur help,” Paul added. “It costs nothing and simply changes labor law to allow people to buy insurance as a group from retailers. Let me know if this is something you might want to partner on.”
Trump did not indicate whether he would assist Paul in passing the legislation and included no comments with his post.
