During this public health crisis, we need health and public health security, says Fagbuyi. The number of executive orders issued declined during this time period with Presidents Barack Obama (D) and George W. Bush issuing the fewest on average at 35 and 36 each year, respectively. We already have a law protecting people with preexisting conditions: the ACA.Currently, the Trump Administration is suing to overturn the law in the Supreme Court. To guarantee protection, a law needs to be in place. If youre not adding any value, like fixing any other loopholes or making it better, I dont know what youre doing, Fagbuyi added.If the ACA were to be repealed without a legal, meaningful replacement, it would put Americans with preexisting conditions at risk. Executive orders allow presidents to make policy outside of the regular lawmaking process.
