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. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard Kennedy School \nSheila Burke\, Chair\, Government Relations and Public Policy Group\, Baker Donelson\, and Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy\, Harvard Kennedy School \nLanhee Chen\, Research Fellow\, Hoover Institution\, and Director of Domestic Policy Studies and Lecturer in the Public Policy Program\, Stanford University   \nJohn McDonough\, Professor of the Practice of Public Health\, Harvard T.H.

SUMMARY:State\, Local\, Tribal\, and Territorial Response to Large-Scale Biological Events
