House Scrambles to Choose New Speaker; Medicare AEP Begins Sunday

Healthcare Happy Hour

Last week, Kevin McCarthy became the first speaker of the House in United States history to be ousted from the position via vote. This week, the House has scrambled to replace McCarthy. While the chamber has a temporary speaker in place, his powers are limited and the GOP majority must choose a permanent leader before anything can be considered on the floor. On this week’s episode of the Healthcare Happy Hour, John Greene and Michael Andel discuss what they’re seeing on the Hill. Additionally, the Medicare AEP is about to begin, so we’ll discuss some resources for our members to help with all the requirements for agents.
