What will the future of the healthcare affordability agenda look like from a federal policy perspective and how can policy and market forces work together to accelerate change? This session will explore the policy opportunities that can advance affordability while examining market-based solutions that can move employers and providers toward greater value. Speakers will discuss how federal policy can remove barriers to innovation, including making direct contracting easier and more practical for employers and providers, and how the right policy and market conditions can work together to create a more affordable, competitive healthcare system.
