See moreUS presidential races are always fiercely fought, protracted, expensive and reflective of the times: the 2016 campaign will be one for the history books. The July conventions are expected to result in Hillary Clinton's endorsement by the Democrats as the first female presidential candidate for any major party, and (we assume) Donald Trump's endorsement by a divided Republican Party.

What are the likely outcomes for the US and specifically, for the future of Obamacare?
