Becker’s Hospital Review published an article July 23 that includes MHA CEO Brian Peters as one of 76 healthcare executives sharing their focus for the second half of 2024.
Peters covered the importance of the upcoming elections and the impact it will have on healthcare policy and access to care.
“As an advocacy organization, every two years we need to be highly focused on impending lame-duck sessions,” said Peters. “The outcome of the November election will go a long way toward determining the relative intensity of these lame-duck sessions, and which of our key issues will be ‘in play.’ We need to use the coming months to strategize appropriately, and be ready to block proposals that would threaten patient access, and also be ready to take advantage of new political dynamics that present a window of opportunity to move beneficial legislation that was previously stalled in the process.”
Members with any questions regarding media requests should contact John Karasinski at the MHA.
