What will Trump II bring? Do Not Resuscitate #369 Nov 15 2024

On “Do Not Resuscitate” I look at the mainstream and specialty healthcare news media about how we spend trillions of dollars making intermediaries rich instead of making ourselves healthier. This week, I review some of the early and somewhat contradictory speculation about where Trump II will take us in the health realm, including the buzz about RFK’s supposed role.

Below are all the links to the articles mentioned, and I also include a link to the back archive of these digests and an email if you would to receive the full written digest to your inbox.
