H.R. 1 and the Future of Healthcare: The world’s top policy and healthcare experts help organizations navigate transformational change 

The Harry Walker Agency represents a powerhouse roster of trusted public officials, economic thinkers, clinical leaders, and policy insiders who bring unmatched clarity to the complex realities of healthcare reform. As H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act dominates headlines and boardroom agendas, these experts deliver timely, nonpartisan insights that help audiences across industries understand what’s at stake—and how to respond. 

BILL FRIST, MD and FRANCIS S. COLLINS, MD, PHD bring clinical, scientific, and policy leadership to the discussion. SENATOR JOHN TESTER, DR. ROCHELLE WALENSKY, MD, MPH, and GOVERNOR CHRIS SUNUNU unpack how this sweeping legislation could reshape access, affordability, and innovation. Former Speakers and legislative insiders—JOHN BOEHNER, KEVIN MCCARTHY—alongside strategists like RAHM EMANUEL and KARL ROVE—offer candid, behind-the-scenes understanding of the Congressional dynamics driving this landmark bill. Top economic strategists including LAWRENCE SUMMERS, GARY COHN, EMILY OSTER, and JACK LEW break down the financial impact for business, government, and everyday Americans. Physician-economists and data storytellers like ANUPAM B. JENA, MD, PHD, JOEL BERVELL, and SHARON MALONE, MD bring the human implications of policy to life—translating data into action. 

Whether you’re advising clients, guiding teams, shaping public discourse, or preparing for disruption, this one-of-a-kind group offers the insight and credibility your audience needs—through keynotes, moderated forums, fireside chats, or private executive briefings.
