After weeks of late nights, final counts and innumerable analyses, the Election of 2024 is over. Where do healthcare executives stand, what is known and what uncertainties lie ahead?

In this session, our resident health law expert will provide answers to these questions with an overview of federal and state election results and what they mean for the next years in healthcare with the goal of helping executives prepare for what is next. Topics discussed will include how the election will affect Medicaid; if/by how much the Affordable Care Act grow or contract; the guiding principles of the new administration; who will be the secretary of HHS and the agencies underneath that umbrella and how this summer’s rebuke from the Supreme Court of the Chevron Doctrine will likely impact federal rulemaking.

As has been true the last number of years, much of health law is determined by the elections in the states and newly elected or re-elected representatives. Learn what happened in the 34 races to determine leadership in the Senate, results of votes in multiple states on issues such as reproductive care access, Medicaid expansion and trends for the future.

Lastly, this webinar will cover how the election will impact the U.S. Supreme Court and the likelihood that reform and new rules of conduct will change procedures such as recusal and transparency.

Learning Objectives:

• Appraise how the election of 2024 will most directly impact healthcare executives and their system, institution, practice and career.
• Analyze the election results and identify the implications on the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and healthcare reform.
