WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2025 - Eleven leading policy strategists are scheduled to debate how market changes and the Trump administration will shape 2025, impacting drug pricing, health plan design and patient access to needed therapies. The annual live webinar, "2025 Healthcare Industry Outlook: Opportunity Through Uncertainty" is scheduled for Thursday, January 23 at 11:00 a.m. ET.
