US President Donald Trump quickly assumed the mantle of the White House, making his first executive order on the Affordable Care Act or the "Obamacare". 
Hours after delivering a stinging rebuke of the political status quo in his inaugural address, Trump headed to the Oval Office and signed the order that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said was aimed at "minimizing the economic burden" of the "Obamacare" law. 
The order urged government departments to "waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation" of provisions that imposed fiscal burdens on states, companies or individuals. 
It also called for efforts to give states greater flexibility in implementing healthcare programs while developing "a free and open market in interstate commerce for the offering of healthcare services and health insurance". 
Repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, one of former President Barack Obama's signature laws, was a central pledge for Trump during the presidential election campaign. Republicans in the US Congress have not yet laid out a plan to recast the insurance program.
