We have seen these last few weeks a few sell-side notes floating around prognosticating on the fate of President Biden's health care agenda. Opinions appear to range from "absolutely nothing" will happen legislatively to "expansion of ACA and public option via reconciliation" will add a few basis points to GDP. The reality of a 50-50 Senate, a slim majority in the House, and a pending ACA challenge at SCOTUS, makes the future a bit more nuanced.
I am pleased to be joined next week by Chris Jacobs of Juniper Research Group. Chris is both knowledgeable about the procedures that define these possibilities and the laws themselves. Chris's experience on the Republican side of the aisle also offers important insight into how the minority - just barely - will position itself on health policy. Please join us:
