WASHINGTON — Today, Congressman Vern Buchanan, Vice Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and Chair of the Health Subcommittee, announced that he will serve as a featured speaker at POLITICO’s 2025 Health Care Summit on Wednesday, April 2. Buchanan will be interviewed by Rachael Bade, POLITICO’s Senior Washington Correspondent, about the future of the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda in Congress.
At POLITICO’s Health Care Summit, congressional leaders and health experts will explore the sweeping changes transforming America’s health care landscape under the Trump administration. Other key speakers include Calley Means, special government employee for Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Reps.

Buchanan has been a leading advocate in Congress for the MAHA agenda and preventing chronic diseases. Last month, Buchanan’s Chronic Disease Flexible Coverage Act (H.R. 919), which expands treatment options provided through employers’ healthcare coverage for Americans living with chronic diseases, passed the House with a unanimous bipartisan vote. Last fall, Buchanan chaired a Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Hearing on “Investing in a Healthier America” and the critical role preventive medicine and healthy living play in combatting chronic disease and the obesity epidemic.
