Symposium Overview

As the United States continues to grapple with the devastation of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the topic of health care has once again emerged at the forefront of the 2020 presidential election. This virtual symposium will gather a range of experts after election day to discuss how the results could influence the health policy agenda in 2021 and beyond. Panel presentations and keynote speakers will provide insight into what’s ahead for health policy in the administration, Congress, federal courts, and the states.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care policy and infrastructure
  • Perennial health care priorities, including delivery system reform, long-term care reform, health care budgets and financing, investments in health IT, and health care affordability
  • Short and long-term strategies to address persistent health disparities and health care system inequities
