White House Drops Socialist' From Title
The administration recast the title for the health-care executive order President Donald Trump is scheduled to sign Thursday from “Protecting Medicare from Socialist Destruction” to “Protecting and Improving Medicare for Our Nation’s Seniors.”
Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, and Trump has tried to brand all his Democratic opponents as socialist radicals. Sanders’ signature plan would eliminate private insurance in favor of a government-run program.
Trump is to travel to Florida Thursday where he’ll speak about health policy. His remarks will focus on Medicare Advantage, a program in which private insurers including UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Humana Inc. provide benefits in place of the government, administration officials said.
“I don’t know that we did change the name to be honest with you,” Joe Grogan, head of the White House domestic policy council, told reporters Thursday.
