The US Government is poised to make groundbreaking federal and state policy decisions. Special guest Matt Salo, executive director of the National Association of Medical Directors, joins us to discuss the latest congressional action on the infrastructure package, challenges of current budget reconciliations, and Medicaid expansion consideration. We also explore critical state health and health tech topics including the growing data privacy and security policy efforts, state public option models, COVID vaccine hesitancy, how Medicaid programs have addressed public health needs, and what’s next for telehealth policy in states.
