How the presidential election results might influence healthcare packaging regulations

The post-election regulatory environment is more complicated than traditional beliefs about the two primary political parties.

If you want to try to look ahead to what might happen to healthcare packaging businesses after the presidential election, there are plenty of available clichés and truisms to turn to. They can help start a discussion, but they usually don’t tell the whole story.

You could stroke your beard and say knowingly that President Obama, if reelected, will continue his traditional pro-regulatory ways, adding burdens and obligations to business the way Democratic politicians do. Or you could remove your reading glasses, sigh, and say, well, if Mitt Romney is elected president, he’s already promised he will get regulations out of business’s way, so the climate will be generally better for business.
