President Trump on Tuesday alluded to an executive order on health care, saying he will use “the power of the pen” to provide care to individuals because Congress "can't get its act together."

“Since Congress can't get its act together on HealthCare, I will be using the power of the pen to give great HealthCare to many people – FAST,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

ObamaCare supporters and insurers are worried that Trump’s planned executive order could undermine the stability of ObamaCare.
