Trump’s policies are likely to drive soaring rates of lung disease and premature death, according to a new study that examines policies adopted during Trump’s second term across 10 areas, including healthcare access, environmental regulation, workplace protections…
🫁 A new study in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine suggests Donald Trump's policies could significantly increase lung disease and premature deaths across America.
📉 The analysis identifies 10 policy areas, including healthcare access and environmental regulations, as drivers of these risks, potentially impacting millions.
💰 A key concern is the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA), which slashed over $1tn from health programs, potentially limiting care for Medicaid recipients, reducing vaccinations, and decreasing medication access.
💨 Rollbacks in air pollution standards are expected to lead to new asthma cases and more respiratory hospitalizations, threatening the lung health of hundreds of thousands.
