Donald Trump

Welcome to the archive of healthcare-related stories about former President Donald Trump. The articles include Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, his policies on drug pricing, and his relationship with the pharmaceutical industry.

One notable article is a report by Nicholas Florko and Lev Facher. It details how Trump officials actively lobbied to deny states money for vaccine rollout over a concern that states would use the money to promote Democratic candidates in the 2020 election.

Another notable article is a report by Matthew Herper that examines Trump’s claims that his policies made insulin “so cheap, it’s like water.” Herper’s report found that for most people, insulin prices were unchanged.

Also included are articles about Trump’s relationship with the World Health Organization, his proposed cuts to drug control offices, and his dismissal of the surgeon general.
