returns. Trump wants to offer "block-grant
Medicaid" to states. "The reforms outlined
above will lower health care costs for all
Americans," the candidate says.
But critics, including some in the Republican Party, say the campaign hasn't fully
addressed the impact of these proposals.
Robert Laszewski, a former insurance executive and someone The New York Times calls
a frequent critic of ACA, characterized
Trump's health care plans as "a jumbled
hodgepodge of old Republican ideas, randomly selected, that don't fit together."
Federal Regulations
In addition to repealing ACA, Trump's regulatory proposals call for eliminating what
the candidate describes as "a tremendous
amount of regulations." He adds, "The
business people, they talk about regulation
more than they talk about taxes."
Although the Trump campaign doesn't
offer specifics about regulatory reform,
the candidate has offered some insights in
recent interviews and campaign events. In
May, he told a group of oil company representatives that the government should "get
out of the way" of the energy industry and
criticized oil and coal regulations. "We've
got to get rid of some of these regulations,"
he added. "It's gotten out of control."
In other interviews, Trump called for
"dismantling" the Dodd-Frank Act.
International Competition
Saying the U. S. "has always been a
trading nation," Trump promises "trade
will flourish" under his administration.
The candidate will emphasize fair trade
and will strive for "not protectionism but
accountability."
Trump says that while the U.S. "fully
opened its markets to China... [China]
uses unlawful tariff and nontariff barriers
to keep American companies out of
China and to tilt the playing field in their
favor." Part of the Trump strategy will be
tougher trade negotiations designed to
bring fairness to trade with China.
Trump has been a vocal opponent of
new trade deals, such as TPP, and has
called President Bill Clinton's NAFTA
pact the "worst trade deal in history."
Trump says he'd seek to renegotiate
NAFTA with Canada and Mexico and
would withdraw from the pact if the talks
didn't result in better terms for the U.S.
Federal Minimum Wage
While saying that wages should rise,
Trump has endorsed an increase in the
federal minimum wage to $10, but believes
individual states, not Washington, D.C.,
should be responsible for setting minimum
wages. ■
