Donald Trump's rhetoric and leadership are destroying the "culture of community" necessary for progress on health equity. His one-line promises to provide "quality health care at a fraction of the cost" smack of neoliberal nostrums that shifted ever more costs onto patients, thereby preventing many people from getting care. The dangers of Trump go far beyond health policy, however; Trump's presidency threatens the political and cultural institutions that make any good policy possible.
唐纳德·特朗普的言辞和领导方式正在破坏健康公平取得进展所必需的“社区文化”。他那句承诺“以极低的成本提供高质量医疗保健”的话带有新自由主义的陈词滥调,将越来越多的成本转嫁给了患者,从而使许多人无法获得医疗服务。然而,特朗普的危害远不止于健康政策;特朗普担任总统威胁到了使任何良好政策成为可能的政治和文化机构。
