I am pleased to share that our op-ed, co-authored with Ambassador Pradeep Kumar Kapur, has been published in The Sunday Guardian (New Delhi edition, 18-24 January 2026). Titled “How Two Indians Anticipated Trump’s Healthcare Reform,” the piece examines how our 2020 Amazon bestselling book, Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic: Envisioning a Better World by Transforming the Future of Healthcare, independently outlined reforms remarkably similar to those in President Donald J. Trump‘s The Great Healthcare Plan, released on January 15, 2026, from the White House.
We extend our sincere congratulations to President Donald J. Trump for this bold initiative, which stands firmly with the American people against special-interest lobbyists. By codifying most-favored-nation drug pricing, redirecting subsidies directly to individuals, funding cost-sharing reductions (saving $36 billion and lowering Obamacare premiums by over 10%), ending deceptive kickbacks, and requiring prominent public posting of prices at Medicare/Medicaid facilities, the plan promotes affordability, accountability, and true market transparency—principles we advocated to prevent surprise bills and empower consumers.
The article also explores strategic opportunities for Indo-U.S. collaboration, positioning India’s pharmaceutical industry (global leader in affordable generics), hospital networks (e.g., Apollo, Fortis, Narayana Health), and health-tech innovators to partner in implementing these reforms. Drawing from Ayushman Bharat’s frugal innovation and digital models, Indian entities can contribute to a bilateral “SafetyNet” for resilient, patient-centered care.
As the White House urges Congress to enact this framework into law—amid rising 2026 premiums—we commend this patient-focused direction and call for swift legislative action.
