Trump can make America healthy again with these five agenda items

Betsy McCaughey outlines a five-point health policy agenda for President-elect Donald Trump. Key items include promoting healthy eating to combat chronic diseases, addressing inefficiencies at the CDC, and improving hospital infection protocols. Other proposals include making health insurance more affordable by reducing Medicaid enrollment and tightening border security to curb health risks from drug trafficking and contagious diseases.
