Abstract
In this editorial, we explore the profound implications of Donald Trump's re-election on the U.S. health policy landscape. Recalling the lessons of his first term, marked by a contentious response to COVID-19 and challenges in reducing healthcare costs, we assess the potential trajectories of his administration's health agenda. With a focus on deregulation, market-based approaches, and possible shifts in public health infrastructure, the stakes are high not only for American citizens but also for global health. As Trump's policies unfold, both national and international audiences must confront a complex future that tests resilience, equity, and public trust in health governance.
期刊介绍:
Policy making and implementation, planning and management are widely recognized as central to effective health systems and services and to better health. Globalization, and the economic circumstances facing groups of countries worldwide, meanwhile present a great challenge for health planning and management. The aim of this quarterly journal is to offer a forum for publications which direct attention to major issues in health policy, planning and management. The intention is to maintain a balance between theory and practice, from a variety of disciplines, fields and perspectives. The Journal is explicitly international and multidisciplinary in scope and appeal: articles about policy, planning and management in countries at various stages of political, social, cultural and economic development are welcomed, as are those directed at the different levels (national, regional, local) of the health sector. Manuscripts are invited from a spectrum of different disciplines e.g., (the social sciences, management and medicine) as long as they advance our knowledge and understanding of the health sector. The Journal is therefore global, and eclectic.
