Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) will be the spotlight speaker at today’s luncheon where he will talk about health care reform under a new president. Wyden sponsors the Healthy Americans Act, a proposal that he says would “provide affordable, high quality, private health coverage for everyone regardless of where they work or live.”
The luncheon will be followed by a series of drawings. Be sure to visit the Exhibit Hall between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. for the chance to win one of these: a digital audio recorder, an iPod nano, a $50 dining card or a Starbucks gift pack. Remember, our exhibitors’ support helps us keep AHCJ conference registration such a great deal.
This afternoon, our freelance members will have a chance to meet editors and pitch stories to them in a fast-paced Freelance PitchFest. This is the second year we’ve offered this and demand was high for appointments with the editors.
