President Donald Trump is moving ahead on his promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Hours after delivering his inaugural address, Trump signed the order that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus says is aimed at “minimizing the economic burden” of the “Obamacare” law.
The order notes that Trump intends to seek the “prompt repeal” of the law.
In a weekend interview Trump says he is nearing completion of a plan to replace President Obama’s signature health-care law with the goal of “insurance for everybody,” while also vowing to force drug companies to negotiate directly with the government on prices in Medicare and Medicaid.
