U.S. President Donald Trump signed a slew of executive orders the Oval Office at the White House in Washington.

One of them aims to improve price transparency on healthcare costs. 

​In a recent press briefing from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed several executive orders, including measures aimed at enhancing healthcare price transparency. The President emphasized the importance of providing patients with clear and actionable pricing information to empower them in making informed healthcare decisions. This initiative directs the Departments of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services to enforce regulations requiring hospitals and insurers to disclose actual prices, not estimates, thereby promoting competition and potentially lowering healthcare costs. ​The White House

During the same briefing, President Trump proposed a "gold card" visa program, offering a path to U.S. citizenship for wealthy individuals willing to invest $5 million. This initiative is intended to replace the existing EB-5 visa program, which requires a lower investment and mandates job creation. The President highlighted that gold card holders would enjoy "green card privileges-plus," including tax exemptions on income earned outside the United States. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick noted that applicants would undergo vetting to ensure they are "world-class global citizens." ​Houston ChronicleWikipedia+4marketwatch.com+4Euronews+4independent.co.uk+4New York Post+4Euronews+4
