“The start of a new Congress presents great opportunities to address the defining kitchen table issue of the 2018 election and a cause of unrest for too many American families: health care. If there has ever been a need to bring policymakers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders together for an honest dialogue about health trends and the impact on patients, providers, and taxpayers - it's now," said CAHC President Joel White. "From the debate over 'Medicare for All,' to battles over prescription drug affordability, to the impact at the ballot box, no area of health spending is off limits for our speakers and invited guests. Our summit will allow attendees to hear from every perspective and gain an early, insider's understanding of the health care agenda for 2019 and beyond."
