Risks & tensions

  • Proclamation is purely hortatory; 'urge,' 'implore,' 'encourage' language carries no enforcement mechanism
  • Reference to closing Medicaid coverage gap in non-expansion states reflects ongoing political tension with states
  • Call for 50% cancer death rate reduction over 25 years is aspirational with no specified policy pathway in this document
