POLITICO will host its inaugural health care summit as the U.S. marks the third year into the COVID-19 pandemic and grapples with the fallout from the latest variant to explore the policies, political dynamics, and technological trends shaping the health care sector. The pandemic has created lasting legacies from exposing deep racial inequities in health care, exacerbating the nationwide mental health crisis, and testing trust in science. And, it has also altered the future of health care through accelerating medical research, vaccine development, and digital health innovation.
We’ll bring together health care providers, policymakers, federal regulators, patient representatives, and industry leaders to help explain the policy and industry solutions that have come about because of COVID, and assess their effectiveness. We will also discuss the latest proposals to overcome long-standing health care challenges in the U.S., such as expanding access to care, affordability, and drug prices.
