Date: November 17, 2026

Time: 1:00PM - 2:00PM (EST)

With the shifting balance of power in Washington, DC, health care organizations face a changing policy and regulatory landscape. During this webinar, Mintz and ML Strategies will explore how the divided government is likely to shape the health care agenda, including the priorities of the House and Senate majorities and the Trump administration, the key congressional leaders and committees to watch, and how turnover is changing the dynamics on Capitol Hill.

Discussion topics will include: 

  • Drug pricing, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and the 340B program

  • Health care affordability, health plans, and changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA)

  • Medtech and life sciences, including the drug supply chain

  • Women's health under the 120th US Congress

  • Must-pass legislation, such as FDA user fee bills

Who should attend: Health care and life sciences executives, in-house counsel, government affairs professionals, investors, and others who need to understand how a divided government will affect health care policy, regulation, and legislation.

Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of the Democrat and Trump administration priorities driving the health care agenda, the players and committees that will shape it, and the legislative opportunities and risks ahead.
