Our panelists will discuss the factors affecting insurer participation in the next marketplace open enrollment\, and the possible impact of proposals like high-risk pools\, new tax credits and changes to the tax treatment of employee benefits. We will also discuss how much latitude will states have to put forth their own proposals to increase coverage and access\, plus key considerations for journalists covering news developments at the federal\, state and local level. \nThe webinar has concluded but you can watch it below.

Others have argued that interfering with aging will lead to terrible consequences. How should science and medicine respond? \nCaplan will explore these and related ethical conundrums with moderator Liz Seegert and take questions in a webcast on Feb. 16 at 1 p.m ET. \nHow to participate\nClick here\, choose the “Enter as a Guest” option\, type in your name and click on the “Enter Room” option.  \n \n\nArthur Caplan \n\n\nLiz Seegert URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/is-aging-a-disease-and-should-we-treat-it-as-such/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
