President Donald Trump on Jan. 15 released his administration’s new health care affordability plan, which aims to lower prices through marketplace reforms that include price negotiation, increased competition, and greater price transparency.

Trump’s “Great Healthcare Plan” includes actions the administration has already introduced or is working to implement. If codified in federal law rather than being enforced through executive orders and federal regulations, the provisions are expected to carry greater weight and be more likely to last through future administrations.
