The recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency usher in a new focus on state control of healthcare by the powers of federal administrative agencies. This webinar will review the constitutional framework for the control of healthcare, examine the two recent Supreme Court cases from the providers' perspective, and discuss how both will impact America's response to the next pandemic. In addition to judicial opinion, new legislation will also shape healthcare in the coming months and years. Examine the healthcare components of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, signed into law by President Joe Biden on Aug. 16, during this webinar. Participants will come away with a clear understanding of how recent legal decisions will impact healthcare executives and their organizations.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe current legislative efforts and the impact of judicial opinion on jurisdiction between the federal government and the states as it pertains to healthcare.
• Investigate the implications of the recent Dobbs and EPA decisions on future governmental rule-making and healthcare executive decision-making.
• Analyze the future of public health in America through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic.
