The Baker Institute and the Center for Health and Biosciences hosted the fifth biennial conference on health care reform. Dubbed "The Anniversary Edition," this year's event coincided with the fifth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, as well as the 50th anniversary of the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Five of the nation’s leading health economists discussed the impact of the sweeping health care reform legislation, plus the challenges facing the federal government’s two largest health care programs. Presentations also explored the current state of private and public health insurance coverage, while panelists examined the prescription drug industry and the quality and cost of hospital and physician care. Lunch was included.
Support for this program has been generously provided by the Sid Richardson Foundation and the Health Policy Forum members.
