What was the executive order issued by Donald Trump on September 24, 2020? Executive Order on An America-First Healthcare Plan.

Rogers College of Law.

Without a law, an executive order cannot force an insurance providers to cover preexisting conditions.

An executive order essentially lays out a goal, but it doesn't make anything concrete, says Dr. Daniel B. Fagbuyi, an emergency physician and Obama administration biodefense and public health advisor.

"This executive order is basically meaningless and has no legal effect," says Sklar. What do experts say on this? But experts say the order is largely symbolic.

Protections for people with preexisting conditions are already in place under the Affordable Care Act, though the administration — as the order emphasizes — wants to get rid of that law.

The order "is aspirational," Karen Pollitz, senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation who works on its Program for the Study of Health Reform and Private Insurance, told us in a phone interview. "It has no force of law.
