Summary
The election of Donald Trump as president is likely to initiate significant shifts in U.S. health care, including challenges to public health programs and potential cuts to the Affordable Care Act. With an ally like Robert Kennedy Jr. advocating for a drastic re-evaluation of federal health policies, experts express concern that this could lead to increased distrust of established health protocols, a rise in preventable diseases, and barriers to reproductive health. The anticipated changes may also affect millions of Americans, potentially raising the uninsured rate and complicating access to necessary health care services.
