As the United States continues to grapple with the devastation of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the topic of health care has once again emerged at the forefront of the 2020 presidential election. This virtual symposium will gather a range of experts after election day to discuss how the results could influence the health policy agenda in 2021 and beyond.

Topics to be covered include:

• Lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care policy and infrastructure
