Health Care Outlook in the 111th Congress

When the 111th Congress convenes and President-elect Barack Obama takes office in January, Democrats will control the Executive Branch and will have working majorities in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats are expected to utilize their political control to conduct hearings and investigations in Congress into areas they believe have been neglected in recent years, including oversight of the health care industry and the Medicare program, as well as to pursue comprehensive health care reform and other health policy initiatives.
