Title
Keynote Remarks by Susan Dentzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of America's Physician Groups
Room/Location
Maryland Ballroom A-D
Description
Ms. Dentzer will focus on the health care policy landscape in the U.S. as we shift from big picture debates on the Affordable Care Act and drug pricing reforms in the Inflation Reduction Act and focus on a wider range of individual health care issues. She will discuss issues concerning drug pricing, drug shortages, the federal budget situation as well as legislative developments in the US Congress. She will discuss how health care policy has become “siloed” and developments in specific policy areas.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the issues at the forefront of the public policy debate on health care in Washington, DC.
- Explain the development of specific policy “silos” as opposed to systemic reform as Congress and the Administration grapple with the aftermath of COVID 19 and battle over the Federal budget process.
