Trump Claims Plan Will Cover Pre-existing Illness

Trump, seeming to break from House Republicans’ latest proposal that states could opt out of an Affordable Care Act requirement on covering pre-existing conditions, told CBS’ John Dickerson on “Face the Nation” that congressional leaders were making changes to the newest bill to provide for nationwide pre-existing conditions coverage.
