The Trump Administration Treats Seniors as Expendable

In the middle of a historic health crisis, the Trump administration has left seniors behind.

The dust has settled and the 2020 election has concluded with former Vice President Biden poised to become president. At the same time, Democratic control of the House of Representatives has narrowed to the smallest margin in twenty years and one of the lowest margins for a first term president. Control of the Senate is still up in the air with runoffs on January 5, 2021 in the two Georgia Senate races.

Initially, a Biden Administration will focus most of its efforts on a robust response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will also focus on taking administrative action to reverse some of the health policies implemented during the Trump Administration such as the Association Health Plan regulation, short-term, limited-duration regulations and regulations under section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”).
