Healthcare Investors Bet On Easier Medicare Rules Under Potential Trump Administration
Healthcare investors are expecting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to ease regulations on Medicare Advantage if the former president wins and returns to the White House.
醫療保健投資者們希望共和黨總統候選人特朗普在獲勝並重返白宮後放松醫療補償方面的管制。
Under the Biden administration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has hardened its stance on the program after it faced criticism for insurers overbilling the government and denying care to seniors too many times, the Wall Street Journal reported.
《華爾街日報》報道稱，在擔心保險公司向政府過度收費和拒絕老年人醫護的批評後，拜登政府領導下的醫療保險服務中心已經加強了對該計劃的監管。
Republicans tend to favor privatizing government services and have been friendlier to Medicare Advantage plans, a trend that investors are betting could continue under a second Trump administration.
共和黨人傾向於支持政府服務的私有化，並且對醫療補償計劃更加友好，投資者們認爲這一趨勢在特朗普連任下會繼續。
