We flag this Politico Pulse announcement to help our members stay abreast of the broader fiscal climate facing federal agencies that oversee the Medicaid program:

E&C tees up Becerra hearing. The health secretary will defend Biden’s budget request in front of a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee [on May 12], where he’ll likely be grilled on both the pandemic response and the department’s care of rising numbers of unaccompanied immigrant minors. [ANCOR note – the hearing will be broadcast here.]

The panel’s top Democrats also signaled they’ll be focused on drug pricing, amid ongoing efforts to convince Biden to include sweeping drug reforms in his upcoming spending package.”

ANCOR will keep members informed of any developments of interest from this hearing.
