Sea of Change:
2025 Healthcare Policy Outlook with New Administration at Helm
 
2025 brings forward a new administration and with it a returning President and a new Congress. With parties somewhat "aligned," expectations are high for the Federal Government to curb spending. With a tax bill looming and billions of dollars to balance, Medicaid and other programs are large targets for 2025's Federal Healthcare Policy agenda. This session will highlight the key appointments to President Trump's cabinet and committees, the likely impacts on federal healthcare programs, and other insights on where the healthcare policy ship may sail over the next year.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
 
  1. Outline the Federal infrastructure and priorities for the 2025 legislative session and beyond
  2. Comprehend the financial impacts on the ACA, Medicaid, and other federally funded programs
  3. Contrast and compare the likelihood and timing of the healthcare policy implications before the 2026 mid-terms
  4. Assess the operational and financial forces that will influence hospital and health system profitability
  5. Evaluate enforcement efforts under Price Transparency and No Surprises Act under the new administration
