Session 2: Health Policy Reform vs Incremental Changes: What’s Cost Effective for the U.S.?
Previous Session | Program | Next Session
Health policy is an important topic in this year's Presidential campaign and nothing could be more timely than an expert view of policy proposals in the wake of last year's Medicare law. Are wholesale changes to our health care system in the offing? Or will incremental changes continue to be at the forefront of policymakers' agenda? We’ll hear from one of the top health policy experts on what type of policy changes are appropriate, and what is cost effective.
