Trump Promises That He Will Always Protect ‘Pre-Existing Physicians’

‘JUST THOUGHT OF THAT!’

“How about that? Pre-existing physicians. The first time I’ve ever said that. Just thought of that!” Trump declared at his Monday night rally.

During a Monday evening campaign rally in Kentucky ahead of the state’s gubernatorial election, President Donald Trump took aim at Democrats’ push for Medicare for All and health-care reform. Warning his supporters that Democrats plan to “obliterate Medicare,” the president went on to promise them that they will “always protect patients with pre-existing conditions” before ad-libbing a new phrase. “And we will also protect you with pre-existing physicians,” he exclaimed while squinting at the teleprompter. “How about that? Pre-existing physicians. The first time I’ve ever said that. Just thought of that! It’s true because under their plans, you don’t get your own doctor.”
