WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With Donald Trump's election in 2016, Vice President Mike Pence emerged as a force in reshaping American health policy. Aligning the policy with Pence's evangelical Christian principles, the administration stocked the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies with a cadre of pro-life staff members.
