President Donald Trump's new healthcare plan will maintain protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions, according to statements made by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday.

Leavitt emphasized that the President's intention with the healthcare overhaul is to ensure continuity in coverage for those with medical histories, much like the protections provided by the Affordable Care Act initiated under former President Barack Obama.

While discussions with Congress regarding the plan continue, Leavitt reassured that Trump's proposal would not undermine the provisions that have historically safeguarded individuals from being denied coverage or charged higher rates due to pre-existing conditions.
