They will discuss the impact of leadership changes, new committee chairs, and the composition of the Democratic and Republican caucuses in the House and Senate on tax policy and legislation. Finally, each panelist will share their understanding of how their specific segment of the insurance industry may be impacted by the elections and the changes they will bring.
