After the latest Obamacare repeal failed, Trump says let’s try Rand Paul’s free market idea instead

On Tuesday, I made the case that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was right to oppose the latest Republican Obamacare repeal effort, known as Graham-Cassidy, in the hope that a more free-market approach could emerge.

Just one day later, it did.

President Trump announced Wednesday that he planned to sign a very major executive order that would allow people to purchase in insurance across state lines a free-market proposal Republicans have yearned for long before Obamacare existed and Paul, in particular, has pushed as part of his Association Health Plan proposal. Paul outlined these ideas in January in a Rare op-ed and has promoted them throughout the Obamacare repeal debate.

Paul has been talking to Trump about allowing health care to be sold across state lines and expected the president to move forward on it soon, the senator said earlier Wednesday. And then Trump did.

Reports portrayed the presidents decision as a political win for the senator. U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky appears to have notched a victory in the health care debate in Washington, declared Kentuckys WKU/NPR.

It may very well be a political win for Paul. But if Graham-Cassidy had passed, would Pauls idea had ever seen the light of day?
