Trump said Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may help shape his health care agenda.
Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump arrives at an election night watch party at the Palm Beach Convention Center, Nov. 6, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Fla.
During his campaign, Trump vowed to make the Affordable Care Act "better" and to protect "women." He also suggested that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would shape the public health agenda of his administration.Trump has been inconsistent on what his plans are regarding the Affordable Care Act , the landmark law signed in 2010 by then-President Barack Obama.
There could also be changes to Medicare, a federal health insurance program for people aged 65 or older and younger people with disabilities., which is run by commercial insurers. What's more, Project 2025 -- a plan of conservative policy proposals proposed by the Heritage Foundation and not endorsed by Trump -- has proposed Medicare Advantage be the default option for Medicare coverage.Also at risk are those with pre-existing conditions.
Additionally, Kennedy told NPR he would work "immediately" to increase research into the safety of vaccines, though he insisted, "We're not going to take vaccines away from anybody."
