It covers nearly half of California’s children and residents with disabilities\, one in five California workers\, and more than a million California seniors. \nCalifornia has a new governor\, as well as new representatives in the State Senate and State Assembly. Together\, these leaders are tasked with providing oversight of the Medi-Cal program and for making policy decisions about its direction. Among the issues they’ll need to address are ensuring the program is strong and sustainable for the millions of Californians who rely on it for coverage\, continuing to focus on the future of care integration and delivery system transformation pilots that are currently financed through the state’s Section 1115 waiver\, which expires in 2020\, and making sure the state is getting the best value from its managed care program. \nUnderstanding the policy and programmatic issues facing Medi-Cal requires knowledge of the basics of the program. In this briefing\, the first in a series sponsored by CHCF\, experts will provide an overview of Medi-Cal\, including the people it serves and the services it provides\, as well as the organization\, oversight\, and financing of the program. Jennifer Kent\, director of the Department of Health Care Services\, will also offer thoughts about its future. \nSpeakers \n\n\nJacey Cooper\, Senior Advisor\, Health Care Programs\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nAssmaa Elayyat\, Senior Policy Analyst\, County Welfare Directors Association \n\n\nScott Graves\, Director of Research\, California Budget and Policy Center \n\n\nLindy Harrington\, Deputy Director\, Health Care Financing\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nDeborah Kelch\, Executive Director\, Insure the Uninsured Project \n\n\nJennifer Kent\, Director\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nChris Perrone\, Director\, Improving Access\, CHCF \n\n\nKristof Stremikis\, Director\, Market Analysis and Insight\, CHCF \n\n\nMargaret Tatar\, Principal\, Health Management Associates \n\n\nTuesday\, Feb. 12\n10 a.m. -2p.m.\nSacramento Masonic Temple\, 1123 J Street\, Sacramento\n\nThere will be a webcast and\, on Feb. 9\, the California Health Care Foundation will publish a series of documents (called Medi-Cal Explained). \n\nGet more information and register here.

MIT political scientist Adam Berinsky is an expert on public opinion – and what goes wrong. Recently he’s been doing a lot of fascinating research on health policy and health news and has some provocative things to tell reporters about who we trust – versus who the public sees as a trusted communicator. His insights are particularly valuable as we try to debunk myths about vaccines\, “death panels” and “blame it on Obamacare.” \n\n\nAdam Berinsky\, Mitsui Professor of Political Science\, MIT \n\n\nModerator: Joanne Kenen\, AHCJ core topic leader/health reform \n\n\nAdam Berinsky is the Mitsui Professor of Political Science at MIT and serves as the director of the MIT Political Experiments Research Lab (PERL). He is also a Faculty Affiliate at the Institute for Data\, Systems\, and Society (IDSS). Berinsky received his PhD from the University of Michigan in 2000. He is the author of “In Time of War: Understanding American Public Opinion from World War II to Iraq” (University of Chicago Press\, 2009). He is also the author of “Silent Voices: Public Opinion and Political Participation in America” (Princeton University Press\, 2004) and has published articles in many journals. He is the co-editor of the Chicago Studies in American Politics book series at the University of Chicago Press. He is the recipient of multiple grants from the National Science Foundation and was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. \n\nAdam Berinsky \n\n\nJoanne Kenen URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/health-reporting-and-communication-gaps/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
