We will have a newly inaugurated President. What are his Administration’s plans for healthcare policy and services? Will consideration be given to proposals for a single-payer system? What is the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)? What is their position on Medicare expansion? Bundled payments? Managed care medical groups under the delegated care model? Value-based care? Vaccine promotions, restrictions, mandates? Reduction in food additives? How about funding for Social Determinants of Health and community support services?
Join us on January 29 as our expert panel looks into the crystal ball to help answer these important questions.
