Employers provide health coverage for over 150 million Americans, giving them a unique opportunity to drive meaningful reform across the health care system. As the costs of care continue to rise and outcomes remain inconsistent, the role of employers has never been more important.

With advancements in medical science, data analytics, and digital health tools, employers are well positioned to champion preventive care, improve outcomes, and reduce costs. But how can businesses ensure their benefits truly deliver high-value care? What policy levers can empower employers to play a more proactive role in transforming care? How can the public and private sectors collaborate to ensure that innovations in employee health translate into better outcomes for everyone?

Join The Hill for a forward-looking discussion with lawmakers, health policy leaders, employers, and industry experts to examine how workplace-centered strategies can shape the future of American health care.

Event Themes

Balance of Power

Checks and balances, DOGE and courts, immigration and states' rights. The balance of power is being tested daily throughout the nation. What does it mean for the mid-terms and the future of politics?

Navigating the New Agenda

Policy and politics are moving faster than ever before to align with Trump’s second term goals. How will policymakers, businesses and advocates navigate this new agenda?

Rough Trade

The will they, won't they dynamic playing out in the global trade ecosystem has dominated headlines since the start of President Trump's second term. Where will tariffs stand just ahead of the summer recess?

Changing the Tax Code

Revamping the tax system to eliminate income taxes for most Americans sounds promising, but will it pass? And will tariffs be the new backbone of funding the U.S. government?

A Good Defense

A TV personality and billionaire investor are perched as the top two policymakers at the Pentagon. Where does the U.S. stand in terms of American competitiveness? Where is it racing ahead and where is it falling behind? How will the Pentagon’s bureaucratic rules for buying weapons and other equipment be transformed?

Trump's Golden Age Economy

Storm clouds are forming on the U.S. economy as fears of an economic slowdown rise. Six months into the President's term, will the strategy spell relief or recession?

Getting Up to Speed

Energy, housing, health care, technology, manufacturing and more - massive industries shifting in uncertain times. What is the outlook for doing business in America and with America?
