Donald Trump To Issue Decrees Against Obamacare On His First Day As President
The elected U.S President, Donald Trump, signed several executive orders in the White House, next January 20 to begin dismantling the health reform formerly set by the outgoing president, Barack Obama. This was announced by Vice President, Mike Pence on Wednesday.
The Republican leader met with Republican lawmakers to convey the message that the first action of the new Congress installed Tuesday should be to repeal and replace Obamacare. In a press conference after the meeting, Pence explained that Trump will take action against the health system from day one, starting with the signing of several executive orders, according to The Hill.
"What was done with a phone and a pen, can be undone with a phone and a pen" said Pence in a private chat with parliamentarians, as revealed by Rep Blake Farenthold. According to sources from Fox News, Trump is getting ahead of his bed waiting to have a repeal bill ready for Feb. 20, only after a month of the coming of the new administration.
Outgoing US President Barack Obama also traveled to Washington on Wednesday to meet with Democratic Congressmen to design a strategy to protect his health care reform. The former President arrived in the morning to hold a closed-door meeting with Senate and House of Representatives Senate Democrats, discussing as to how to deal with the Republican majority in both precincts. The health system makes it compulsory to have health insurance, but its repeal is one of the priorities of the upcoming new Congress.
Obama focused on the benefits of the system and emphasized the number of letters he received that called for Obamacare to continue operating. Meanwhile, Trump warned on Twitter that this year there will be massive increases in the cost of Obamacare's health insurance and that Democrats are to blame for the disaster.
