Live from Home Care 100 in Scottsdale, Tom Maxwell sits down with Scott Levy, the Chief Government Affairs Officer for the National Alliance for Home Care at Home.In this interview, Scott pulls back the curtain on the Alliance’s unified advocacy mission following the historic NACH and NHPCO merger.

He discusses the reality of "divided government" following the 2026 elections, the implementation of HOPE, and the industry’s proactive stance against fraud, waste, and abuse.
