SUMMARY:Live webinar: Implementing health reform in the states
DESCRIPTION:What are the trends? What are the implications for states if the Supreme Court strikes down parts the reform law\, or the entire law? \nThis webinar is archived\, click here to view it.\nMaterials List  (PDF)\, Selected Experts List (PDF)  WHEN: Tuesday\, March 27\, 2-3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time \nSPONSORS: Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ)\, Alliance for Health Reform\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation  \n The health care overhaul law passed by Congress in 2010 sets out national goals and requirements. But many of the key decisions implementing the law are left to the states.    \nFor example\, states have a lot of leeway in how they set up health insurance exchanges\, where uninsured individuals and small business will be able to buy coverage starting in 2014. But only 15 states have actually passed legislation establishing an exchange\, or have a governor who has set one in motion by executive order. Florida and Louisiana have said they will refuse to set up exchanges\, meaning the federal government will organize exchanges in those states. On the other end of the spectrum\, states such as Vermont and Oregon are working to change their health care systems in ways that go beyond the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. \nThe law provides for Medicaid expansion that will bring an estimated 16 million additional Americans under the Medicaid umbrella. But will states aggressively promote the program to these newly eligible individuals? What if the Supreme Court rules that the Medicaid expansion is unconstitutional? \nThis webinar will bring you up to date on what’s happening in the states with implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. By watching\, you will be better able to answer questions on this topic for readers\, viewers and listeners.  \nSpeakers:   Enrique Martinez-Vidal (Enrique.Martinez-Vidal@academyhealth.org) is vice president for state policy and technical assistance at AcademyHealth. He is also the director of State Coverage Initiatives\, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, which provides timely\, experience- and research-based information and technical assistance to state leaders in order to help them move health care reform forward at the state level. In May 2010\, he was appointed by Governor Martin O’Malley to the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange Board.  Previously Mr. Martinez-Vidal was the deputy director for performance and benefits at the Maryland Health Care Commission\, an independent state agency. There he was responsible for the oversight of Maryland’s small group insurance market reforms\, among other responsibilities. \nMatt Salo (matt.salo@namd-us.org) was named the executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD) in February 2011. NAMD represents the officials responsible for administering the Medicaid program in the 50 states\, the District of Columbia\, and the five U.S. Territories. Mr. Salo spent the previous 12 years at the National Governors Association\, where he worked on the governors’ health care and human services reform agendas\, helping to modernize the Medicaid program and secure the tobacco settlement for the states\, getting more than $100 billion in state fiscal relief. He began his career in the health policy field working as a policy analyst for the Medicaid Directors from 1994 to 1999. \nNoam  Levey (Noam.Levey@latimes.com) covers health care policy for the Los Angeles Times/Tribune Washington bureau\, which distributes his reporting to the Times and other Tribune newspapers\, including the Chicago Tribune\, Baltimore Sun and Harford Courant. He has written for papers in the Persian Gulf\, the Midwest and California\, including the San Jose Mercury News\, where he was an investigative reporter before he joined the Los Angeles Times in 2003. \nModerator:  \n Ed Howard (EdHoward@allhealth.org) is the founding executive vice president of the Alliance for Health Reform\, a nonpartisan\, nonprofit health policy group in Washington\, D.C. that he formed in 1991 with Sen.
