Donald Trump · 45th PresidentPublished Jan 24, 2017Signed Jan 20, 2017
Document overview
Summary
It is the policy of my Administration to seek the prompt repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( Public Law 111-148 ), as amended (the “Act”). In the meantime, pending such repeal, it is imperative for the executive branch to ensure that the law is being efficiently implemented, take all actions consistent with law to minimize the unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens of the Act, and prepare to afford the States more flexibility and control to create a more free and open healthcare market.
