Trump triumphs but impact on healthcare industry remains unclear

Donald Trump has been elected 47th president of the US after the 5 November election having won more than the 270-seat threshold needed. Despite his victory, what a second Trump presidency will mean for the healthcare industry remains unclear.

During his campaign, the Republican spoke little about healthcare policy but did make some declarations, including that he would let Robert F Kennedy Jr “go wild” on healthcare and that RFK Jr would be able to “do what he wants” with women’s healthcare.
