Donald Trump vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, telling a crowd at a rally toward the end of his campaign “it’s one of the single most important reasons why we must win on Nov.. 8.” Now, with a Republican-controlled Congress, that goal is within reach. How will that happen and what will the Republicans put in its place? What will that mean for the 20 million Americans who now have Obamacare? How will it impact hospitals, which have heavily invested in ACA reforms?
On SABEW’s next teletraining session, hear from experts on what they believe a Trump presidency will mean for health care and its potential impact on the health care industry and consumers.
