Three Pillars of Trump: Healthcare Reform
Healthcare reform was top of President Trumps legislative priority. What has changed?
Donald Trump campaigned on numerous issues, but when it came time for action in the early days of his administration, healthcare reform was his top legislative priority. 鈥淩epealing and replacing鈥� the Democrats鈥� Obamacare system has proven harder than it seems. Time and time again the Republican-controlled Congress was unable to pass sweeping changes.
The headline-grabbing legislative failures, however, do not tell the full story. The president is slowly but steadily changing the way the healthcare operates in the US. The 成人快手鈥檚 senior North America reporter, Anthony Zurcher, examines the challenges facing Donald Trump鈥檚 Administration, including efforts to replace Obamacare as well as his handling of the opioid addiction epidemic and efforts to reform the medical system for US veterans.
