2019 CAucus highlights
AAPAN board member company executives and government relations staff came together May 8 for the association’s annual Capitol Caucus to interact with federal legislators, administration representatives and political pundits. Key discussion topics included the opioid epidemic, trade and healthcare public policy, changes to Medicare and Medicaid, and the run up to the 2020 presidential election. As in past years, several attendees visited legislative offices in the afternoon to help educate staff about the key issues facing the commercial health industry, in particular burdensome taxation and challenging regulation.
Attendees from workers’ compensation organizations participated in a round-table discussion with Doug Holmes, president of Strategic Services on Unemployment & Workers’ Compensation (UWC). UWC is a broad-based, country-wide association exclusively devoted to representing the interests of the business community on unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation (WC) public policy issues.
