The Baker Institute hosts its fourth biennial conference on health care reform to consider the implications of the 2010 Affordable Care Act for the U.S. health care system and the well-being of the population. Six of the nation's foremost health policy experts will discuss the possible impact of the Affordable Care Act on the federal budget, the future of accountable care organizations and the evolving health insurance marketplace. The conference will also include a lunch panel discussion of ongoing work in health policy at the Baker Institute.
A cocktail reception celebrating the Baker Institute's 20th anniversary will follow the conference.
Support for this program has been generously provided by the Sid W. Richardson Foundation and the Baker Institute's Health Policy Forum members: Baylor College of Medicine, Madison Benefits Group, Inc., Community Health Choice, St. Luke's Episcopal Health System, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas Children's Hospital.
