The incoming Obama Administration and the Democratic Congress will face the most critical challenges of this century. Amid the economic crisis and international conflicts, Obama has pledged to take on the boldest challenge in healthcare today – universal healthcare coverage.
At a 40-minute media-only conference call, experts from PricewaterhouseCoopers' Health Industries Group will present an in-depth look at President-elect Obama's health reform plan. The event will include a presentation of health care policy in an Obama administration:
