Trump Executive Order to Reform Kidney Care

Summary from the AllSides News Team

On Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at transforming kidney care for more than 30 million Americans with kidney disease. The executive order specifically seeks to improve detection and treatment options for kidney disease; the President cited credible data that 96% of people with kidney damage or mildly reduced kidney function are unaware of their condition. The left points out the parallels this executive order seems to draw with Obamacare. The right lauds the President's efforts to reform healthcare. It is unclear as to why a seemingly non partisan issue was resolved through executive order and not by bipartisan congressional measures, such as the First Step Act.
