During 4 years of rule, President Trump’s administration implemented sweeping changes which in turn affected the abortion, Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and rights of transgender, in several situations reversing the struggle of the Obama administration. Moreover, most of the guidelines were implemented through executive orders and instruction since it was hard to attain any bills through Congress, especially, after the Democrats held control of the White House after the midterm election in 2018.
Following are some health care guidelines of Trump that are likely to reverse by Joe Biden administration.
Work requirements
In the start of 2018, President Trump administration acquired the historic step permitting the U.S. states to require particular Medicaid recipients to work to attain benefits. Furthermore, eight states have obtained approval, 7 have pending requests and 4 had their waivers put apart in court, Kaiser Family Foundation says.
The Supreme Court judge will announce on 20th of November whether to study a case challenging work requirement in New Hampshire and Arkansas. Furthermore, Joan Alker (executive director of the Center for Children & Families at Georgetown University) said that Joe Biden’s Health & Human Services secretary can unwind the approvals.

There is also another executive order that President Trump consistently pointed to increasing short term health strategies, which particularly have less premiums, but offers small comprehensive coverage and do not have to follow the protection of Affordable Care Act for Americans with pre-existing situations. Also, Trump presented it as less expensive way as compared to Obamacare.
LGBTQ instructions
President Trump has founded aggressive towards the transgender community of the United States. Here is Trump’s most slammed action to struggle earlier this year to push back an Obama era regulation restricting discrimination in health care against transgender patients.
Title X abortion
Joe Biden has assured to annul President Trump administration’s guideline excepting federally funded health care workers in the Title X family planning package from referring someone for abortion.
Funding cuts for the Affordable Care Act
