What does the future hold for U.S. healthcare? In this podcast episode, Dr. Bradley Block interviews Adam Block, an associate professor of health policy at New York Medical College, to discuss the potential future of U.S. healthcare under the Trump administration.

Key topics include the possible introduction of Medicaid block grants and work requirements—policies aimed at reducing state healthcare spending but potentially increasing administrative challenges. Adam Block predicts the continuation of popular programs like Medicare Advantage and telemedicine while raising concerns about controversial leadership appointments, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The conversation covers important topics like lowering drug prices, improving healthcare in rural areas, and the ongoing debate over whether private companies or the government run healthcare better. Dr Adam Block also looks back at how the COVID-19 pandemic was handled, pointing out what could have been done better and why being prepared is so important.

He stresses the need for quick action on new healthcare laws at the start of a new administration, as there’s only a short time to make big changes before political priorities shift.
