Trump administration officials on healthcare
President Donald Trump’s main healthcare policy
initiative has been working to fulfill his campaign promise to
repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act(ACA), commonly known as Obamacare. He expressed his
support for the House and Senate bills that proposed
modifying parts of the ACA. The House passed its bill — the
American Health Care Act of 2017 — but members of the
Senate have been unable to agree on a final replacement
plan, leaving most of the provisions of the ACA in place.
Republicans did take one step towards changing the ACA by
eliminating the law's individual mandate, which took effect
in January 2019. In October 2017, the Trump administration
took actions to modify the ACA. Trump issued an executive
order directing members of his Cabinet to create rules that
would allow small businesses to collectively buy health
insurance through association health plans, expand shortterm health coverage, and expand the use of Health
Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs). The order did not
make direct changes to existing health insurance rules;
instead, it directed agencies to consider new rules that
would be subject to a notice and comment period. Trump
said that he is still committed to passing a bill to repeal and
replace the ACA. Before signing the executive order on
October 12, 2017, Trump said, “Today is only the beginning.
In the coming months, we plan to take new measures to
provide our people with even more relief and more
freedom. (…) And we’re going to also pressure Congress very
strongly to finish the repeal and the replace of Obamacare
once and for all. We will have great healthcare in our
country..”.
