The New 118^th Congress and Outlook for Health Care Policy

In the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy’s (NABP) Innovations publication, health policy and government relations director Megan Herber discusses the consequences of the midterm election for the makeup of the 118^th Congress and what that might mean for federal policymaking on health care and pharmacy issues.

Herber outlines the balance of power in both the 117^th and 118^th Congress as well as new committee leadership, which will have the biggest impact on policymaking. She also examines how the overall dynamics of legislating will impact health care policymaking and how the political climate and priorities of legislative leaders will impact what gets done in Washington, D.C.
