News — WASHINGTON (Nov. 6, 2024)--With Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the presidential election, public health experts project a number of changes to the health care landscape, according to Experts predict he and his allies will scale back public health insurance, which could mean more Americans will be left without insurance coverage, and impose additional barriers to reproductive health care–including abortion.
They also warn of changes to the Affordable Care Act’s consumer protections and the imposition of work requirements for Medicaid beneficiaries. Vaccine skepticism and an anti-science stance on other public health interventions are likely, they say.
And the second term in office for Trump could also mean a variety of measures that would stall or roll back the United State’s progress on climate change.
