SUMMARY:Follow the Money: Fraud and the Affordable Care Act
DESCRIPTION:“Follow the Money: Fraud and the Affordable Care Act” is a workshop designed to teach participants where to look for fraud connected to the massive new government program\, how to uncover it\, and how to present the findings in a compelling and understandable way. \nObamacare is destined to be THE major story of 2014 and one of the major issues of the mid-term elections. With trillions of taxpayer dollars at stake\, it’s imperative for journalists to approach this topic with a watchdog mentality. Understanding where fraud might occur and how to uncover it within a very complex program requires specialized training. Reporters need to understand how insurance companies can manipulate the system for their own benefit\, how individuals can scam the system\, the limitations of government oversight\, which documents will be crucial to investigating fraud in the program\, how to analyze documents\, and much more.   \nThe program is sponsored by The New England Center for Investigative Reporting\, a nonprofit news site dedicated to watchdog journalism. It will feature the following faculty members: \n\n\nDavid Donald is data editor at the Center for Public Integrity. \n\n\nByron Harris has been a news reporter for more than four decades\, primarily with WFAA-Dallas. \n\n\nAl Tompkins is the Poynter Institute’s senior faculty for broadcasting and online. \n\n\nFred Schulte is a senior reporter at the Center for Public Integrity. \n\n\nLouis Saccoccio is CEO of the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association. \n\n\nIt will be held at Boston University.  \nThe cost of the program is generously covered by a grant from The McCormick Foundation. Hotels\, airfare\, meals and tuition will be covered by the grant. Incidentals and spending money are not covered. \nThe application is only open to journalists reporting within the United States. Click here to apply by April 15. \nTo participate in this training you’ll need to secure an agreement from your editor that he/she will meet with you after the workshop to discuss a plan for coverage of fraud associated with the Affordable Care Act.

SUMMARY:Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired: Putting an End to Separate and Unequal Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Fifty years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964\, access to health care remains separate and unequal. Decades of empirical research suggests that racial bias in health care is one of the root causes of disparities in health between African Americans and Caucasians. This symposium\, called “Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired: Putting an End to Separate and Unequal Health Care in the United States 50 Years After the Civil Rights Act of 1964″ and sponsored by The Law Medicine Center Symposium and The Case Western Center for Reducing Health Disparities\, will focus on racial bias in health care and the resultant health disparities.   \nSpeakers will include Dr. David Barton Smith (author of Health Care Divided: Race and Healing a Nation)\, retired Ohio State Senator Ray Miller\, and Dr. Mary Frances Berry (Geraldine R. Segal Professor of American Social Thought and Professor of History\, University of Pennsylvania).   \nSee the event website for registration\, more information\, and a complete list of speakers.
