The moves are likely to be inconsequential to many people in terms of what they pay in out-of-pocket health care costs.

Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order reversing several Biden-era health policies, including initiatives to lower prescription drug costs and strengthen the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Key changes include rescinding a $2 monthly cap on certain generics and ending extended Obamacare enrollment periods.

Experts say these moves will have limited immediate impact on out-of-pocket health costs but signal Trump’s disinterest in continuing Biden’s health care reforms.

Trump’s stance on Medicare drug price negotiations remains unclear, leaving major Biden initiatives like insulin and prescription drug caps untouched for now.
