Across the Spectrum: Perspectives on Health Reform from the Political Left and Right - November 19, 2008 On November 19th, 2008, over 80 Society members joined us for "Across the Spectrum: Perspectives on Health Reform from the Political Left and Right" at the Barbara Jordan Conference Center in Downtown Washington, DC. The evening featured a panel discussion with Henry Aaron, Senior Fellow, economic studies at the Brookings Institution and Stuart Butler, Vice President, domestic and economic policy studies at the Heritage Foundation on the underlying principles on health care that guide each political wing, the strategies that offered the greatest potential to bring improvements to our health care system and what lies ahead for the future of reform in light of the results of the historic 2008 election.
