Webinar: Setting the agenda for #46

The 2020 presidential election presented some unique challenges this year, as will the subsequent transition in power. Healthcare-related issues will be in the forefront in the next few months, as President Donald Trump looks to leave his mark through executive orders, the Supreme Court considers the fate of the Affordable Care Act and Congress negotiates stimulus funding. On the table is everything from additional hospital relief funding to changes to the Stark law. In the meantime, President-elect Joe Biden has already signaled he will take immediate action on reversing some of Trump's political moves as soon as he takes the oath of office in January.

Join to:

• Hear what challenges the new administration will face
• Gain knowledge from veteran administration and regulars in the beltway about how to navigate the changes
• Learn what actions the new administration can take to unilaterally provide relief to the industry
