Health Care & President Trump: What’s Happened So Far

Originally broadcast January 23, 2025

President Trump’s first days in office have resulted in a number of important changes in the healthcare landscape. President Trump has withdrawn the United States from the World Health Organization, rolled back drug pricing policies and limited gender-affirming care. In addition, Robert F.
