There is no question, a lot of entrenched interests would be arrayed against it, but it's an executive order right? Even Nixon issued a successful executive order to expand Medicare to those with disabilities, it's the same kind of thing. I know, the insurance industry is much stronger now than it was 50 years ago, but it's still an executive order.

It cannot be unconstitutional because it cannot be considered immoral (unlike abortion), there is no coercion, and because it would actually increase trade by increasing competition, therefore a claim cannot be made that it would reduce trade. So I don't know how or why SCOTUS could be involved.

And sure, it might fail, but nothing is easy, particularly those things of value.
