Medical Insurance Products and Services

Deregulation Under The Trump Administration And Its Impact On The
...Hospital Deregulation under the Trump Administration and Its Impact on the Non-Profit Sector
Introduction
President Trump touted deregulation as one of the issues he would push for during his campaign leading up to the 2016 election. Once placed in the White House, he held true to his push for deregulation and that policy has had some impact on the non-profit sector in the US. This paper will show how that impact has benefited the nonprofit sector in some ways and how in other ways it remains to be seen whether negative fallout will occur or not. Specifically this paper will explain how deregulation under the Trump Administration is impacting the non-profit sector in various beneficial ways, such as
by allowing nonprofits to keep anonymous the names of donors; and by capping the amount federal agencies can force nonprofits to spend—the idea being that this will prohibit agencies from shifting costs for……

In short, it sounds like an extended and much-deserved holiday for everyone. No problem, right? Then again,……
