The Affordable Care Act is a big, sprawling, complex and politically explosive piece of legislation. It will touch all aspects of the U.S. health care system, reverberate in the economy and the workplace– and keep politicians at high decibel levels at least through the November midterms and probably beyond.
In this webinar, which will take place at 2 p.m. April 23, Politico health care editor Joanne Kenen will help you sharpen your reporting and deepen your understanding of the Affordable Care Act and its impact on your community.
You will learn:
• How to interpret the latest enrollment figures for the health exchanges and Medicaid;
• Some tools for analyzing and fact-checking claims both sides make about the health law;
• Ideas for how to blend policy and narrative;
• What to watch for as states prepare for year two;
• And the 90 percent of the law that doesn’t hit the headlines – but should.
Who should take this course?
If you are a reporter or an editor on a health, business, or politics beats, and you want to get beyond the heated and confusing rhetoric and understand what the health law means to your community and where it’s heading, you should take this course.
Joanne Kenen is AHCJ’s topic leader on health reform and the health care editor of Politico/Politico Pro. She has covered health policy and health politics, mostly in Washington, since 1994 and has been at Politico since 2011.
