President Donald Trump signed an executive order to overhaul the country’s healthcare system after Congress failed to replace and repeal Obamacare.
On Thursday, Pres. Trump said, “We’ve been hearing about the disaster of Obamacare for so long. I just keep hearing repeal and replace, repeal and replace. Well, we’re starting that process, and we’re starting it in a very positive manner.”
According to the President, his administration is taking the first steps to provide millions of Americans relief from Obamacare through the executive order.
In his remarks, Pres. Trump explained that his latest action will increase competition, choices, and access to lower-price and high-quality health care options. He emphasized that Americans will have “many options.”
The President emphasized, “This will cost the United States government virtually nothing, and people will have great, great healthcare.”
Expanding alternatives to Obamacare
Under the order, the Department of Labor will consider expanding access to Association Health Plans (AHPs) to allow businesses join together to form AHPs and offer health insurance to their employees.
