Obama care became the first target of U.S President Donald Trump, as he signed his first executive order to immediately freeze any new regulations hours after the inauguration.
The American new president told reporters that the measure is necessary step to reform the health insurance system in the U.S, denying that the order affected the day which he described as “busy but good and beautiful day”.
According to Analysts, Trump’s executive order declares that “it is the policy of my Administration to seek the prompt repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” while taking steps now “to minimize the unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens.”
The order called for government agencies, “to the maximum extent permitted by law,” to “waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act that would impose a fiscal burden on any State or a cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on individuals, families, healthcare providers, health insurers, patients, recipients of healthcare services, purchasers of health insurance, or makers of medical devices, products, or medications.”
It also called for the federal government “to provide greater flexibility to States and cooperate with them in implementing healthcare programs,” with the same caveat, “ to the maximum extent permitted by law.”
It was not immediately clear what the executive order would concretely mean for Republicans to make good on their longstanding promise to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement.
Shortly after the Oval Office event, Vice President Mike Pence swore in Mattis and Kelly, who were confirmed by majorities of 98-1 and 88-11 respectively. Trump’s nominee for CIA director, Rep. Mike Pompeo, has run into stiffer Democratic opposition. The Senate is still expected to confirm him after several hours of debate on Monday.
