Implementing provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act poses a huge challenge for the public and private sectors alike.  Thousands of decisions and regulatory changes must be made to re-structure the U.S. health care system, expand health coverage, and begin the effort to control costs.  The June 2010 issue of Health Affairs details the terrain that lies ahead.  

On June 8, at a briefing hosted by Health Affairs, health policy experts will discuss prospects for changes in such areas as health care delivery, insurance market reforms, and Medicaid expansion, as well as the likely impact on providers, insurers, payers, and employers. Speakers will include: David Cutler, economics professor, Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government; Jon Kingsdale, immediate past president, the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority; Ray Scheppach, executive director, National Governors Association; Deborah Chollet, senior research fellow, Mathematica Policy Research; Len Nichols, director, Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics, George Mason University; Alan Weil, executive director, National Academy for State Health Policy; and Thomas Miller, resident fellow, American Enterprise Institute.
