LOS ANGELES - Californer -- In his first term as President in 2016, Donald Trump sought to enact work requirements for subsidized Obamacare health insurance plans but was unsuccessful. Going into his second term in 2025, he says he won't scrap it altogether but that Obamacare is just too expensive. What's more, he claims that he can cut auto insurance increases by half after he's elected. Also, business owners are hopeful that a Trump presidency will boost business, but what does it mean for business insurance? Let's look at how Donald Trump may affect your insurance bills in the next four years.

The reality is that Trump's other proposals, namely his plan to add tariffs to overseas products, may have the opposite effect, making claims even more expensive. (more on car and auto in link at the end)

Will Business Insurance Be Affected by Trump's Policies?
President Trump won his second term in 2024 on the promise of improving the U.S. economy and helping businesses flourish.
