Medicaid's Uncertain Future

The Medicaid program has historically faced political challenges, especially during the first Trump administration.

With the recently seated second Trump administration, there are a variety of changes under consideration for the Medicaid program and its beneficiaries.

Join Health Affairs on March 19 to discuss what policy changes may occur and how they may impact the Medicaid market and patients.

The panel will discuss interesting research questions that could be asked during this time. From work requirements to state funding, the panel will share its perspective and give space to address questions from the audience.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Carmel Shachar, Harvard Law (Moderator)
• Jennifer Tolbert, KFF
• Edwin Park, Georgetown University
• Aditi Vasan, University of Pennsylvania

This event is for Health Affairs Insiders only.
