Trump's Return: Major Health Care Overhaul on the Horizon

TL;DR Summary
The return of Donald Trump to the White House is expected to bring significant changes to U.S. healthcare, potentially scaling back public health insurance programs and imposing new barriers to reproductive care. The administration may erode Affordable Care Act protections, introduce Medicaid work requirements, and cut safety net funding. With vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as an advisor, public health measures could face challenges. Trump may also support drug price negotiations but Medicaid and reproductive rights could see restrictions. The administration's healthcare agenda remains largely conceptual.
