There's still time to register for this week’s POLITICO Pro subscriber briefing — part of your limited-time access to conversations typically reserved for Pro subscribers.

Health care is at the center of the government shutdown stalemate and critical to the Trump administration’s confrontation with universities — just as the industry itself is undergoing a massive technological evolution.

Join POLITICO on Thursday, October 23 at 1:00pm ET for a Pro subscriber briefing looking at pain points and negotiation opportunities on health care on Capitol Hill, across Washington and beyond.

Even if lawmakers navigate the current funding standoff tied to Affordable Care Act subsidies, there are big questions about how Republicans embrace a program they spent years trying to repeal. Our panel of journalists will not only unpack the latest thinking how ACA premiums factor into the shutdown fight, but also what to watch in debates over telehealth, pharmacy benefit managers and medical research.
