Breaking Down Trump’s Healthcare Plan

The ideas are not new, and it’s short on specifics, but will President Trump’s “ The Great Healthcare Plan ” lead to serious health reform? AnneMarie Schieber, managing editor of Health Care News and Devon Herrick, of the Goodman Institute Health Blog discuss the pros and cons of the plan’s “four pillars.” Will price transparency mean anything in a dysfunctional health care system where few people pay directly? Are Trump’s drug price deals the kind of drug price reform patients need? Will proposed ACA rules lead to lower cost “indemnity” style health insurance? Also, Sen. Rand Paul wants to remove nationwide liability protections for vaccine makers , what about ending vaccine mandates , and Elon Musk and DOGE make it easy to “crowdsource” Medicaid fraud investigations.
