Session Description: This session will provide an in-depth update on NACHC's federal affairs strategy and our priorities on Capitol Hill. The Republican-controlled Congress and Administration continue to contemplate significant changes to health care policy. Health centers must keep these dynamics in mind as we seek to advance our legislative priorities such as funding, 340B reform, investments in workforce, telehealth, and Medicaid coverage. The discussion will be timely as health care costs, especially the Medicaid changes from the recent reconciliation bill, have emerged as a central flashpoint in the national political discourse.
