SUMMARY:Philadelphia: Implementing health reform in the states
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by AHCJ\, Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation \nWHEN: Wednesday\, Dec. 14\, 6 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres available at 5:30 p.m. Soft drinks\, wine and beer provided at no charge. \nThis event\, for reporters only\, will be followed by a separate briefing for the general public from 8 to 9 p.m.\, sponsored by the Philadelphia Inquirer and WTXF Fox29.) \nWHERE: Philadelphia Inquirer (400 N. Broad St.\, Philadelphia\, 215/854-2000 – Follow signs in the front lobby) \nSPONSORS: Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ)\, Alliance for Health Reform\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation \nRSVP: By noon\, Monday\, December 12\, to Eric Rosenthal\, chair of the Philadelphia chapter of AHCJ (etrosenthal@verizon.net) \nNOTE: Although AHCJ is cosponsoring this event\, you don’t need to be a member of AHCJ to attend. \nThe 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 individuals and small business will be able to buy coverage starting in 2014. Florida and Louisiana have said they will refuse to set up exchanges\, meaning the federal government will organize exchanges in those states. Other states are planning their exchanges\, even while asking courts to toss out the law entirely.    \nStill other states are working to change their health care systems in ways that go beyond the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Vermont\, for example\, wants the Obama Administration’s approval to put in place a Canadian-style single-payer system. Oregon wants to allow public employees to enroll in Medicaid.    \nWhat’s happening in Pennsylvania\, New Jersey and other states to implement exchanges and other aspects of the health reform law? How are states preparing for the law’s Medicaid expansion in a time of budget deficits? As they plan for reform\, how are states addressing tough issues such as health care for undocumented immigrants and cutbacks in mental health services? How do states go about getting waivers from the reform law\, and how many might take advantage of that option?    \nThis briefing will help you better answer these questions for your readers\, viewers and listeners.  \nSpeakers:  Robert Field\, professor of law\, health management and policy at Drexel University – Dr. Field is an expert on health law and public health\, and is the author of a comprehensive guide to government regulation of health care in the U.S. His research focuses on ethical issues in health reform\, genetic screening\, managed care and public policy. \nJoel Ario was director of the federal Office of Insurance Exchanges from 2009 until September of this year. In that post\, he was the person most directly responsible for helping states set up their health insurance exchanges\, and for organizing exchanges in states choosing not to do so on their own. He is a former insurance commissioner for the State of Pennsylvania. \nJeffrey Brenner is the founder and executive director of the Camden Coalition of Health Care Providers in New Jersey\, which is working to improve the health status of Camden residents by increasing capacity\, quality and access to care. A family physician\, he has practiced in Camden for 11 years. His work in Camden was spotlighted in a Jan. 24 New Yorker article by Atul Gawande. \nKarl Stark is health and science editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer\, and vice president of the Association of Health Care Journalists’ Board of Directors. He has worked as The Inquirer‘s pharmaceuticals reporter\, national/foreign editor\, deputy editor of science and medicine\, and covered health care extensively as a business reporter. He has won many awards for his investigative work\, including the National Press Club’s Consumer Story of the Year. \nModerator:  Ed Howard\, executive vice president of the Alliance for Health Reform\, a nonpartisan\, nonprofit health policy group in Washington\, D.C.
