As the government shutdown stretches on, uncertainty is rippling through agencies, budgets, and the millions of Americans who depend on federal health programs. With major changes to Medicare prescription-drug benefits slated for 2026, the timing couldn't be more critical.

At Bang for Your Buck: Get the Most from Your 2026 Medicare Drug Benefits, The Hill will convene policymakers, experts, and advocates to discuss how Washington's impasse could affect drug price reforms, open enrollment, and the rollout of new cost-saving measures. Join us in person for a networking breakfast and program, or virtually, by registering below.
