Trump inherits Biden's unfinished health policies
- The Trump administration inherited some big health policy headaches on Monday. And the nature of federal rules means it can't start from scratch on key questions about surprise billing, coverage of GLP-1s and prescribing controlled substances.
The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump is inheriting several health policy issues from President Joe Biden's administration. Key points include the ongoing debate over the Affordable Care Act (ACA), where Trump has promised to repeal and replace it, though specifics remain unclear. Additionally, Trump faces decisions regarding drug pricing reforms initiated by Biden, such as allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, which could be altered or reversed. There's also the matter of public health responses, particularly concerning the management of future pandemics, given the criticisms of Biden's handling of the tail end of the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, issues like mental health care, telehealth expansion, and the opioid crisis are highlighted as areas where Trump might either continue or pivot from Biden's policies. The article suggests that while Trump has criticized many of Biden's health policies, the actual implementation of changes could be complex due to political, legal, and practical considerations.
