27 February 2017 - President Trump met with major health insurers Monday morning, in the midst of political divisions over how to dismantle and replace President Obama's signature health-care law, the Affordable Care Act, and intensifying public pressure to preserve the policy.
The meeting included leaders from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealth Group, Aetna, Anthem, Kaiser Permanente and the industry lobbying group, America's Health Insurance Plans.
"We must work together to save Americans from Obamacare," Trump said in public remarks before the closed-door meeting. He criticised the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, for creating minimal health coverage requirements that restricted the types of plans insurers could sell.
