The Alliance for Health Reform is sponsoring a briefing at the National Press Club addressing the obstacles that must be overcome or dealt with if the health care reform effort is to cross the finish line.
According to the press release, the briefing, which is to run from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m., will aim to help reporters answer the following questions: "Will there be a public plan option or, as an alternative, health insurance co-ops? How will reform be financed? Can the "cost curve" be bent, either during or after the 10-year window that's the focus of Congressional Budget Office "scoring"? How might Medicare change – or facilitate change – in a reformed system? How will reform affect employers, especially small businesses?"
