(MENAFN) The Trump administration has reportedly demanded several agencies in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to refrain from using some particular phrases in official documents.

The Washington Post was informed by officials from two HHC agencies that they had received a list of "forbidden" vocabulary similar to the list sent to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Another HHS agency was ordered not eliminate the usage of the words "entitlement," "diversity" and "vulnerable," in documents. It was also instructed to use "ObamaCare" as contrast to the "Affordable Care Act" and to refer to "marketplaces" as "exchanges."
