President Donald Trump on Sept. 24 laid out his vision for health care, which focuses on providing "Better care, more choice, and lower costs."
"Under the 'America First' health care plan, we will ensure the highest standard of care anywhere in the world," Trump said during remarks on his health care policies in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar earlier announced that Trump would sign several executive orders to address concerns about preexisting conditions and surprise medical bills.
"The president is declaring that it is the policy of the United States to provide protections to ensure that Americans with preexisting conditions are protected, regardless of whether the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional and its protections for pre-existing conditions invalidated," he said during a press call on Sept. 24.
"If the Supreme Court strikes out all or a large part of the Affordable Care Act, what the president is making clear in this executive order is that it is the policy of the United States that people who suffer from preexisting conditions will be protected."
The administration has also mandated that hospitals must provide patients with transparent information on health care prices.
According to Seema Verma, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Trump's "America First" plan would empower patients rather than bureaucrats, drug companies, health insurers, and monopolies.
