Donald Trump’s return to power will usher in major changes to the country’s health policies, social safety net, and the federal agencies that oversee many of these programs. As the 47th president, Trump said he will let ally Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild on health; I’m going to let him go wild on the food; I’m going to let him go wild on medicine.” What will that wildness entail? More specific conservative proposals have called for gutting LGBTQ health programs, clamping down on reproductive care and access to abortion pills, and imposing work requirements on Medicaid recipients. In this webinar, we’ll bring together some of the nation’s most insightful health policy journalists for an informative discussion on where we go from here. What are we likely to see early on in a second Trump presidency, who will lead these efforts, and how these policy shifts impact vulnerable Americans? Join us for timely insights that can guide your coverage as we look ahead from this tumultuous moment in American politics.
