President Trump started his presidency by signing an executive order that seeks to minimize any burdens caused by the Affordable Care Act.
In the order, Trump states that the administration is working to have the ACA repealed.
"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 the law to minimize the unwarranted economic and regulatory burden of the act, and prepare to afford the states more flexibility and control to create a more free and open healthcare market," according to the text of the order.
