They're not predicting that President-elect Donald Trump will do the kind of harm that some predicted on the campaign trail. But the billionaire reality TV star and improbable election victor should certainly have an impact on everyday lives, analysts say.

Patch, with help from NJ Spotlight and NJ.com, has provided a list of the different ways the new president will have an impact on the New Jersey economy, health care and the rest: Health care Ending the Obamacare program requires 60 votes in the U.S. Senate — something some observers said is unlikely, since lawmakers will face opposition from those who gained access to care, as well as hospitals, drug companies and insurance companies that also benefited from the 2014 law, according to NJ Spotlight.

Of course, Congress can also pass budget matters with a simple majority — as it did when it approved the Affordable Care Act in 2010. So it could repeal it the same way, some lawmakers say. Linda Schwimmer, president and CEO of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute, urged Trump to move carefully, according to NJ Spotlight. "They'll be hearing from all their constituents who previously were shut out of insurance coverage and having it literally change or save their lives," she told the publication.



As an alternative to the ACA, Trump has suggested he would provide federal block grants for states to craft their own Medicaid programs, instead of the current system that is run by states but primarily funded and governed by a national program, according to the report. He also has said he would allow insurance to be sold across state lines.

According to NJ.com, health care premiums will be based on the cost of doing business here, which is higher than elsewhere. New Jersey lawmakers over the years have passed laws to mandate coverage of certain treatment: Everything from alcoholism and nursing home care in 1977, through second opinions in 1980, minimum hospital stays for delivering a baby and mammograms in 1991, according to the report.

Transportation New Jersey is looking to do multi-billion transportation projects such as the Gateway tunnel, as well as Port Authority projects like a new bus terminal. Most of this will not be possible without federal funding, according to NJ Spotlight.

Janna Chernetz, senior New Jersey policy analyst with the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, told NJ Spotlight the big issue to look out for is what happens to the federal government's planned $24 billion Gateway tunnel project. After years of discussion, federal officials recently said the proposal to build two rail tunnels under the Hudson River connecting New Jersey with Manhattan would be eligible for billions in federal funding, as well as an expedited permitting process, according to the report. "I am keeping my eye on the momentum to get Gateway done," Chernetz told the publication.

Trump has pledged to rebuild the nation's infrastructure, including its bridges and tunnels. Trump, however, will also be working with a Congress controlled by Republicans that could prioritize new tax cuts, and there are concerns that could make it harder for the federal government to generate the revenue needed to pay for major mass-transit projects like Gateway. The economy It's very unclear how a Trump administration will impact the economy. Trump talked throughout the campaign about lowering tax rates and reforming trade deals. His proposals on immigration, health care and energy could also impact the broader economy. But right now, exactly how those campaign positions will translate into policy is unknown — as is whether New Jersey could ultimately benefit, according to the report.
