Biden Restores Affordable Care Act; Reverses Trump Ban On US Aid For Abortion Providers
WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Thursday, President Joe Biden signed two executive orders restoring the Obama-era Affordable Care Act and the Medicaid, and reversing Donald Trump's ban on federal funds to international NGOs that help women undergo abortions in critical circumstances.
Biden said the executive orders are 'basically, the best way to describe them, to undo the damage Trump has done.'
'This afternoon, I took action to restore and strengthen Americans' access to quality, affordable health care. The issue is personal to me - and now more than ever, I'm committed to ensuring everyone has access to the care they need,' he later tweeted.
