“This platform should be valued considerably higher, given what we delivered historically and the plan that we’ve laid out for ‘25 and beyond. But we’ve got a job to do to school investors to help them to understand that.”

What health tech wants from a Trump administration We’re in the first week of the second Trump administration, and it’s becoming clearer how it might impact healthcare technology.

Trump's health tech agenda is starting to emerge.

In first earnings since top exec’s murder, UnitedHealth Group diverts blame for healthcare frustrations UnitedHealth CEO Witty addresses healthcare issues post Brian Thompson's killing, emphasizes existing solutions and defends business model amid scrutiny. Company reports $15.2B net income.

Since the killing of UnitedHealth's top insurance exec and the subsequent outpouring of public frustration with delayed and denied care, a major question has circled the giant: Will it change how it does business?

So far, there’s little sign big reforms are in the works.

Health tech investing during Trump 2.0 Health tech investors Julie Yoo and Andrew Adams predict focus on GLP-1 drugs, chronic disease care, and value-based care in upcoming Trump administration.

In today's @endpts.com Health Tech newsletter:
- I chatted with VCs about what they're anticipating in 2025, especially with a changing administration
- @shelbylivingston.bsky.social look closer at what's changing for food as medicine

The Trump administration could breathe new life into the food-as-medicine movement Food as medicine gains momentum with $328M in startup funding through Q3 2024, up from $276M in 2023, as Biden administration supports initiative and Trump's HHS pick signals potential policy shift.

New: While “prescribing” food is far from the norm, the next administration could change that. Some startups in the food-as-medicine space are already fielding calls from interested investors.
