IT services companies, which were betting on the enrollment for Obamacare to revive faster growth in healthcare services business in the US, may be disappointed as the Trump administration has cut budgets and time for enrollment of the landmark healthcare programme.
Global analysts largely say “nothing much has changed” despite efforts by the current administration to replace the healthcare legislation and this could mean no major change in business for IT services companies, both Indian and global, at least this year.
“…the shorter enrollment period, discontinuing of some subsidies, and reduced funding for advertising also illustrate that the uncertainty is far from over. Consequently, we do not expect the payer segment of the healthcare market to change a great deal with demand for IT services stable but not driving increased growth,” said Peter Bendor-Samuel, chief executive, Everest Group, a global IT research firm.
