Sessions

Session Description 

NBC’s Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt engage in an in-depth discussion on the upcoming election and its significant implications for the senior living industry. Amidst recent Senate hearings, heightened media attention and major announcements by CMS, this session will explore the potential outcomes of different government compositions – including divided control versus single-party dominance in Congress and the Presidency – and their impacts on policy dynamics.

The discussion will extend to the possible changes in major entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare, focusing on the continuing efforts by CMS to implement value-based care for all Medicare beneficiaries by 2030, and the likelihood of any movement on immigration reform.

Delve into the ongoing initiatives to enhance transparency and accountability in healthcare and senior housing impacting the future role of private capital, including private equity and REITs. We will also examine the potential for federal oversight of assisted living and memory care communities, as well as the future of the recently promulgated minimum staffing requirements for nursing homes.

This pivotal discussion unpacks the regulatory changes, economic impacts, and policy shifts that will fundamentally reshape the future of senior living.
