Healthcare, COVID response to take center stage in Biden-Harris administration

Published Updated 3 Min Read

Bloomberg NewsU.S. President-elect Joe Biden speaks while delivering an address to the nation during an election event in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S., on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020.

Employers can expect healthcare and a new approach to the COVID-19 crisis to take center stage when President-elect Joe Biden, and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, take the helm next year.

Throughout his campaign, Biden indicated healthcare reform would be a top priority if elected to the presidency. In a year where more than 239,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, the future administration’s plans to rely on science and healthcare experts appears to be a welcome change. Both employer and insurance groups say they intend to work closely with the new administration’s goals to shake up the healthcare industry.
