Trump signs executive order to weaken Obamacare

NEW YORK (FOX 5 NEWS) - President Donald Trump has been frustrated with Congress's failure to repeal and replace Obamacare. So to get around that, he signed an executive order for healthcare on Thursday. the president said the order will give Americans more competition, more choice, and lower premiums.

The move will allow health insurance to be sold across state lines and free of many of the requirements of Obamacare. This would mean cheaper plans with less coverage.

The opposition from Democrats has been swift. House Minority Nancy Pelosi said the president is sabotaging healthcare. Sen. Dianne Feinstein said the system won't provide women with maternity benefits.
