Biden inherits Trump's unique health care agenda - Roll Call

A summary follows of what Trump accomplished, where he fell short of his goals and what Biden might undo.

COVID-19 response

At more than 400,000 deaths, the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the deadliest events for Americans in modern history, surpassing U.S. casualties in World War II. Experts estimate that as many as 40 percent of those deaths occurred in long-term care facilities.

While public health experts urged the use of quarantines and masks, Trump pushed to keep businesses open and tamp down panic. Rather than take the reins of a comprehensive national plan, the White House relegated much of the responsibility to states. 

“In emergency management there are always multiple impacts — economics, housing, lives lost, mental health. … You have to pick and choose,” said Samantha Montano, an expert in emergency management at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. “If you look at the death toll crossing 400,000 in the last year, very clearly people’s lives were not the priority.” 

Containing a crisis requires credible and consistent communication, which was often absent under Trump. Anthony Fauci, a former member of Trump’s coronavirus task force, told reporters on the Biden administration’s first full day that he finally felt he could speak freely.
