President-Elect Donald Trump: Turnaround Time

For an industry that prefers stability to surprises—and one that has worked to adapt to the Affordable Care Act—Trump’s “repeal and replace” agenda may create new uncertainty and opportunity for healthcare leaders. Trump’s corporate business tools will likely be challenged as he attempts to reshape the U.S. health industry, which does not operate like a typical business sector.
