People with pre-existing medical conditions will be covered under the Republican health care bill, President Donald Trump said in an interview with CBS News program “Face the Nation” on April 29.
“Pre-existing conditions are in the bill and I mandated it. I said it has to be. We have, we’re going to have lower premiums,” said Trump. “We actually have a clause that guarantees. We have a specific clause that guarantees.”
Trump said an updated version of the American Health Care Act improved upon many of the issues in the first draft. He said the bill has “evolved over a period of three or four weeks.”
“Now, we really have a good bill. I think they could have voted on Friday. I said, ‘Just relax. Don’t worry about this phony 100 day thing. Just relax. Take it easy. Take your time. Get the good vote and make it perfect,” said the president.
