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:
