What does a second Trump term mean for the future of healthcare? In this episode, we sit down with Scott Becker, founder and publisher of Becker’s Healthcare, to break down the potential changes, challenges, and opportunities in the evolving healthcare landscape. With major shifts ahead, understanding how policies may shape healthcare access, quality, and costs is more important than ever.
Few people have their finger on the pulse like Scott, which is why we wanted to pick his brain on some key issues like long ER wait times, reimbursement struggles, workforce shortages, and the potential rise of a two-tier healthcare system. Plus, he’ll give his honest assessment of where we are and where he thinks we could be heading over the next few years.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- What significant policy shifts does Scott anticipate during President Trump’s second term?
- Why Medicare Advantage has become a complete debacle.
- Are we moving to a two-tiered system and what could that look like?
- What do all these changes mean for CRNAs?
- Is he hearing about any possible solutions for the workforce problem?

"But what's happened ultimately is Medicare Advantage was supposed to save the government money. It's costing the government a ton more money than traditional Medicare, which is just shocking, and was not the intention or the or the or the expectation. So it's costing the government a lot more.
