After a year and a half after President Trump’s inauguration, we’re starting to see the impact on health care mergers and acquisitions activity. According to President Dexter Braff, it’s been minimal. Read more in his recent interview with Axial and find out which three sectors to watch.
“There was a lot of angst, and rightfully so, about how efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act were going to disrupt the interest in healthcare M&A. But now we’re 18 months into his presidency, and we can weigh in on the impact — and it’s been minimal. The fear that the election was going to totally upend buyer’s confidence in the sector did not come to play. The reason for that is much of what has driven the recent surge in health care M&A — namely a shift from fee-for-service to value-based care that requires greater coordination of services and therefore favors strategic acquisitions — remains firmly in place.”
