The 2026 midterm elections will reshape the federal policy landscape at a pivotal moment for healthcare. With debates intensifying around Medicare payment stability, Medicaid financing, workforce shortages, site-of-care shifts, value-based care, and regulatory reform, medical groups face both uncertainty and opportunity. The decisions made in Washington over the next two years will directly influence care delivery, reimbursement, integration strategies, and the economics of physician enterprise operations. In this AMGA-led general session, speakers will break down the key drivers shaping the pre-election environment and what medical groups should be doing now to prepare. This conversation will explore the emerging legislative priorities, expected regulatory pressure points, and the bipartisan issues that remain in play regardless of election outcomes. Attendees will gain clear, actionable insight into how to strengthen organizational readiness, position their medical group for policy shifts, and engage proactively in advocacy efforts that support sustainable, high-quality care. Designed for C-suite and senior physician enterprise leaders, this session provides an indispensable roadmap for navigating the policy implications of the 2026 election cycle with confidence, clarity, and strategic foresight.
