I support this.
That being said, does Trump have that power? Executive Orders are very powerful because the executive branch is huge. But this is an EO compelling private companies to do a certain thing. That seems beyond the reach of EOs.
I'd be happily wrong here, as I said I do strongly support this. Can anyone explain why I am wrong?
- jmaygarden 7y agoThe legislative branch has ceded most regulatory authority to the executive branch. Telling companies what to do is a major part of that. If the Department of Health and Human Services was given this authority, and the President is in charge of that department, then how would an executive order be inappropriate?
- cloakandswagger 7y agoThe EO requires health officials to propose a regulation that achieves the proposed price transparency. In that sense, it's an EO compelling the government to create a new regulation, not a law.
