The National Association for the Advancement of Orthotics and Prosthetics (NAAOP) has released a webinar during which the organization’s president and general counsel, David McGill, JD, and Peter Thomas, JD, respectively, discuss what President-elect Donald Trump’s victory means for the O&P community. They also summarize Trump’s seven key healthcare proposal elements, as follows:
- Repeal the Affordable Care Act
- Premium tax deductions replace federal subsidies
- Medicaid block grants
- Sell insurance across state lines
- Expand use of health savings accounts
- Price transparency
- Reduce drug costs
The webinar can also be found on NAAOP’s recently updated website, http://naaop.org. Look for more NAAOP commentary from Thomas and Steve Postal, JD, in “2016 Election Synopsis and Impact on O&P” in the December issue of The O&P EDGE.
