How a Donald Trump presidency would change health care, from Medicaid to chronic disease

A second Trump presidency could mean significant changes to health care access and costs.

There’s been plenty of conjecture about what the former president would do if he retakes the presidency.

Democrats have campaigned heavily against the Project 2025 agenda put out by a conservative think tank.

The outsized attention given that proposal has eclipsed some of Trump 's own words about his priorities.

The former president would have to wrestle with how to make his plans work within the Inflation Reduction Act .

Republicans have recommended splitting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into two entities.

There are early signs that while millions of people switched over to ACA plans, sicker people with higher costs remained in Medicaid .

His campaign website pledges a naval embargo and military efforts to tackle drug cartels.

Trump has also promised more economic support for people with addiction and family members who are providing care.

The former president has pledged to “end left-wing gender insanity” and bar any federal funding for reassignment surgeries.
