This paper analyzes four trends that are affecting the 2016 election: changing US demographics and the reaction to them, a growing distrust of government, increased polarization and government gridlock, and the rise of populism. It compares the views of candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Donald S. Trump on the Affordable Care Act, climate change, prescription drug pricing, prevention of injuries and deaths from firearms, and the opioids epidemic; and offers perspectives on the potential impact of the election not only on U.S. health care policy, but on the health of American democracy itself.
本文分析了影响2016年大选的四个趋势：美国人口结构的变化及其带来的反应、对政府日益增长的不信任、两极分化加剧和政府僵局，以及民粹主义的兴起。它比较了候选人希拉里·罗德姆·克林顿和唐纳德·特朗普在《平价医疗法案》、气候变化、处方药定价、预防枪支伤害和死亡以及阿片类药物流行等问题上的观点；并就此次选举不仅对美国医疗保健政策，而且对美国民主本身的健康可能产生的影响提供了观点。
