DESCRIPTION:The nation continues to confront infectious disease events and the threat of biological terrorism. This meeting of the Study Panel\, chaired by former Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala and former Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge\, will provide the Study Panel with a better understanding of the ability of state\, local\, tribal\, and territorial (SLTT) governments to: \n\nRespond to large-scale biological events\,\nIdentify and utilize SLTT assets and resources for immediate response (prior to a declaration of a SLTT biological emergency or disaster)\,\nOperate before federal assistance arrives and after federal resources are exhausted\, and\nShift to population management when a biological event overcomes pre-hospital and hospital response protocols.\n\nSLTT government officials\, federal and academic representatives\, and subject matter experts will discuss their perspectives\, experiences\, and challenges in this regard. Download Agenda

SUMMARY:The Future of the Affordable Care Act: What Happens Next?
DESCRIPTION:The Forum at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \n On-Demand Video Available  \nPresented jointly with Reuters  \nWednesday\, September 27\, 2017NEW SERIES TIME: Noon-1pm ETForumHSPH.org \nYou do not need to register to watch Forum webcasts online. Forum videos are posted on-demand after the event. Searchable transcripts also are posted. Boston\, MA — The future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is far from certain. A group of Republicans unveiled recently the Graham-Cassidy bill\, which represents the latest attempt by the GOP to repeal the ACA. For their part\, Democrats organized a news conference to announce a single-payer health care proposal. As the parties and the public grapple with these latest plans\, another hurdle for the ACA looms. With open enrollment beginning on November 1\, questions remain about the stability of the ACA insurance exchange marketplace\, particularly around the fate of cost-sharing subsidies and other factors that affect enrollment\, affordability and access to varied plans. This Forum will bring together health and public policy experts from across diverse perspectives to look at what’s next for the Affordable Care Act. What can Americans expect and where does health care reform go from here? \nEXPERT PARTICIPANTS \nRobert Blendon\, Professor of Health Policy and Political Analysis\, Harvard T.H.
