It’s Libra Season, the gang is all together, and we’re here to discuss the most pertinent issue of the moment: Lauren (aka Diva 1) and her birthday adventure. In less important news, the gang also tackles the upcoming midterm elections, cutting through the campaign noise to unpack what the 2026 election could mean for AMGA members through the end of the year—and how they should prepare. Then it’s on to the December lame-duck session: telehealth extensions, physician payment reform, must-pass legislation, potential offsets, and the perennial question: What can Congress actually get across the finish line before the year ends? Finally, we look beyond the lame duck to the next Congress, covering Medicaid and ACA coverage, Medicare Advantage, drug pricing, 340B, prior authorization, consolidation, and more—and give AMGA members practical steps to prepare for what’s coming.
