Hear policy perspectives on current healthcare issues and what legislating looks like in an election year.

Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA)
U.S. House of Representatives

A physician, veteran, and member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Miller-Meeks is a leading voice on public health and medical supply chain issues. In Congress, she has led efforts to strengthen the Strategic National Stockpile and improve the nation’s readiness for future public health emergencies.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)
U.S. House of Representatives

Rujul Desai
Senior Counselor
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Joseph Albanese
Director of Policy
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

HIDA is pleased that Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) and two senior Trump Administration healthcare officials will offer remarks at the Thursday evening rooftop reception.

A member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Malliotakis is a leading voice on economic policy, tax relief, and domestic manufacturing. In Congress, she has supported efforts to strengthen U.S. manufacturing, and delivered federal funding for hospitals, infrastructure, and other priorities that support communities in her district.

CMS leaders Rujul Desai and Joseph Albanese are exploring a new reimbursement model to support domestically-made personal protective equipment and essential medicines. This is a rare opportunity for direct, one-on-one conversations with officials from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
