SUMMARY:The U.S. Healthcare Law Rollout: Where Do We Stand?
DESCRIPTION:Last weekend marked a self-imposed deadline to improve the website Healthcare.gov to enroll consumers in the federal insurance marketplace.

Supporters have pointed out the complexities of implementing such an enormous set of health reforms. So at this critical juncture\, this Forum at Harvard School of Public Health event will assess where the U.S. stands in the health care law rollout and the resulting health policy implications. \n\nModerator: David Morgan\, correspondent\, Reuters \nParticipants: \n\n\nDavid Cutler\, Harvard Professor of Applied Economics \n\n\nKatherine Baicker\, professor of health economics\, Harvard School of Public Health \n\n\nRobert Blendon\, professor of public health and senior associate dean for policy translation and leadership development\, Harvard School of Public Health \n\n\nJohn McDonough\, Professor of the practice of public health and director of the Center for Public Health Leadership\, Harvard School of Public Health \n\n\nThis will be a live webcast on Dec. 4\, 10:30-11:30 a.m. ET.

SUMMARY:AHCJ San Francisco chapter: Mental health matters
DESCRIPTION:Are you a health reporter who regularly writes about mental health? Or maybe you’re looking to add this important area to your beat? Join us for a workshop and perspectives from two veteran health journalists. \nDate: Thursday\, Oct 17\, 2013 \nTime: 6-8 p.m. (light refreshments and networking 6-6:30 p.m.; program begins at 6:30 p.m.) \nLocation: San Francisco Chronicle – North Beach conference room (901 Mission St.\, San Francisco)Bring a photo ID and check in at reception desk. The Chronicle is near BART\, and parking garages are nearby.  \n***Please RSVP (BayAreaAHCJ@gmail.com). \nThis event is free. \nBackground: \nDespite the impression left by many news headlines\, most people with a mental illness don’t commit crimes. But because mental health issues are largely underreported except when violence is involved\, readers are left with an incomplete picture of just how many people deal with such health problems or that those problems are treatable. Did you know that 25% of American adults have a mental health disorder in any given year? \nThis workshop explores stigmas\, stereotypes\, and facts about mental health\, and covers sources\, precision\, relevance\, language\, cultural considerations and many other issues that can help reporters and editors tell more complete stories. \nThere’s never been a more pressing need for robust reporting about mental health. This workshop can provide you with some tools for telling that story accurately. \nFollowing the workshop\, a health journalist with experience reporting on mental health will share some of her insights. Q&A will close the evening. \nSpeakers: \nMelissa McCoy will lead the workshop. She is a media consultant to the TEAM Up project and former deputy managing editor of the Los Angeles Times. She was an ethics fellow at the Poynter Institute and has served as an editing and ethics instructor at the Maynard Institute. TEAM Up (tools for entertainment and media) is a project of the nonprofit Entertainment Industries Council designed to share information about mental health with journalists.  \nKatherine Kam is a San Francisco Bay Area journalist who specializes in health reporting. In 2012\, she received a Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellowship\, which helped fund her three-part series on depression and suicide in Asian-American high school and college students. \nPlease join us for this important and compelling event.
