SUMMARY:Live webinar: Implementing health reform in the states
DESCRIPTION:What are the trends? What are the implications for states if the Supreme Court strikes down parts the reform law\, or the entire law? \nThis webinar is archived\, click here to view it.\nMaterials List  (PDF)\, Selected Experts List (PDF)  WHEN: Tuesday\, March 27\, 2-3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time \nSPONSORS: Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ)\, Alliance for Health Reform\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation  \n The 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 uninsured individuals and small business will be able to buy coverage starting in 2014. But only 15 states have actually passed legislation establishing an exchange\, or have a governor who has set one in motion by executive order. Florida and Louisiana have said they will refuse to set up exchanges\, meaning the federal government will organize exchanges in those states. On the other end of the spectrum\, states such as Vermont and Oregon are working to change their health care systems in ways that go beyond the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. \nThe law provides for Medicaid expansion that will bring an estimated 16 million additional Americans under the Medicaid umbrella. But will states aggressively promote the program to these newly eligible individuals? What if the Supreme Court rules that the Medicaid expansion is unconstitutional? \nThis webinar will bring you up to date on what’s happening in the states with implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. By watching\, you will be better able to answer questions on this topic for readers\, viewers and listeners.  \nSpeakers:   Enrique Martinez-Vidal (Enrique.Martinez-Vidal@academyhealth.org) is vice president for state policy and technical assistance at AcademyHealth. He is also the director of State Coverage Initiatives\, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, which provides timely\, experience- and research-based information and technical assistance to state leaders in order to help them move health care reform forward at the state level. In May 2010\, he was appointed by Governor Martin O’Malley to the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange Board.  Previously Mr. Martinez-Vidal was the deputy director for performance and benefits at the Maryland Health Care Commission\, an independent state agency. There he was responsible for the oversight of Maryland’s small group insurance market reforms\, among other responsibilities. \nMatt Salo (matt.salo@namd-us.org) was named the executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD) in February 2011. NAMD represents the officials responsible for administering the Medicaid program in the 50 states\, the District of Columbia\, and the five U.S. Territories. Mr. Salo spent the previous 12 years at the National Governors Association\, where he worked on the governors’ health care and human services reform agendas\, helping to modernize the Medicaid program and secure the tobacco settlement for the states\, getting more than $100 billion in state fiscal relief. He began his career in the health policy field working as a policy analyst for the Medicaid Directors from 1994 to 1999. \nNoam  Levey (Noam.Levey@latimes.com) covers health care policy for the Los Angeles Times/Tribune Washington bureau\, which distributes his reporting to the Times and other Tribune newspapers\, including the Chicago Tribune\, Baltimore Sun and Harford Courant. He has written for papers in the Persian Gulf\, the Midwest and California\, including the San Jose Mercury News\, where he was an investigative reporter before he joined the Los Angeles Times in 2003. \nModerator:  \n Ed Howard (EdHoward@allhealth.org) is the founding executive vice president of the Alliance for Health Reform\, a nonpartisan\, nonprofit health policy group in Washington\, D.C. that he formed in 1991 with Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) Mr. Howard and his staff have organized almost 500 briefings for members of Congress and their staffs\, for reporters\, for Executive Branch staff and for health-related groups. He has written\, has lectured across the country and has testified before Congress on a range of topics related to aging and health\, including long-term care\, the uninsured\, Social Security\, Medicaid\, Medicare\, age discrimination in the workplace and services for the elderly. Prior to the Alliance’s founding\, Mr. Howard served as the general counsel for the U.S. Bipartisan Commission on Comprehensive Health Care\, the “Pepper Commission\,” which reported to Congress on ways to assure access to health care and long-term care for all Americans. \nWebinar schedule\n2–2:05 p.m. Welcome/Introductions \nEd HowardExecutive Vice President\, Alliance for Health Reform(Moderator) \n2:05–2:35 p.m. Presentations \nEnrique Martinez-VidalVice President\, AcademyHealth \nMatt Salo Executive Director National Association of Medicaid Directors \nNoam LeveyLos Angeles Times/Tribune Washington Bureau \n2:35 p.m.–3 p.m. Question and Answer Session                                                             \nThe Alliance thanks the Kaiser Family Foundation for the use of their television studio for this webinar.

SUMMARY:New York: Implementing health reform in the states
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by AHCJ\, Alliance for Health Reform\, United Hospital Fund of New York and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation \nWHEN: Thursday\, March 1\, 6:45 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (Hors d’oeuvres and soft drinks available at 6 p.m.) \nWHERE: United Hospital Fund of New York – 1411 Broadway\, 12th Floor\, New York City – 212-494-0700 \nRSVP to: Trudy Lieberman (Trudy.Lieberman@gmail.com)\, AHCJ New York chapter chair\, by 9 a.m. Wednesday\, Feb. 29. The security desk will be checking names of those registered\, so it’s necessary to RSVP for this event. You’ll need to show a government-issued photo ID. \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 New York? 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:  \nTim Jost holds the Robert L. Willett Family Professorship of Law at the Washington and Lee University School of Law. Jost blogs regularly on implementing health reform and other reform regulatory issues. He has written a number of articles on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.  He is a consumer representative to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and a member of the Institute of Medicine. He is a co-author of a casebook\, Health Law\, used widely throughout the United States in teaching health law. He is also the author of Health Care Coverage Determinations: An International Comparative Study; Disentitlement? The Threats Facing our Public Health Care Programs and a Rights-Based Response; and Readings in Comparative Health Law and Bioethics\, the second edition of which appeared this spring. Mr. Jost has also written numerous articles and book chapters on health care regulation and comparative health law and policy\, and has lectured on health law topics throughout the world. His most recent book is Health Care at Risk: A Critique of the Consumer-Driven Movement\, which was published by Duke University Press in 2007. \nDeborah Bachrach\, a former New York Medicaid director\, is the health care transaction and policy counsel at the firm of Manatt\, Phelps and Phillips in New York City. Bachrach has more than 20 years of experience in health policy and financing in both the public and private sectors and an extensive background in Medicaid policy and healthcare reform.  Her practice focuses on developing strategies to respond to the requirements and opportunities of federal health reform\, particularly in balancing coverage\, quality and cost containment. She has served as an advisor to the Center for Health Care Strategies\, the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC)\, and the Kaiser Family Foundation as well as state Medicaid agencies\, foundations\, healthcare providers and other healthcare organizations. Most recently\, Ms. Bachrach was the Medicaid director and deputy commissioner of health for the New York State Department of Health\, Office of Health Insurance Programs. In this capacity\, she was responsible for coverage\, care and payment policies for more than 4 million children and adults enrolled in New York’s Medicaid and Child Health Insurance Programs.  \nTrudy Lieberman\, a journalist for more than 40 years\, is a contributing editor and blogger at the Columbia Journalism Review\, where she writes about health care and income security issues.

She contributes to The Nation and has written a column about health and the marketplace for the Los Angeles Times.  She began her career as a consumer writer for the Detroit Free Press.  Ms. Lieberman is the recipient of 26 journalism awards and five fellowships\, including two National Magazine Awards and two Fulbright scholar awards.  She is the author of five books\, including Slanting the Story—the Forces That Shape the News and the Consumer Reports Guide to Health Services for Seniors\, which was named one of the best consumer health books for 2000 by Library Journal.  She is completing another book about health reform in America. \nJames R. Tallon Jr. (joining the panel for the Q&A period) is president of the United Hospital Fund of New York. The chair of The Commonwealth Fund and of the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured\, he also serves as secretary/treasurer of the Alliance for Health Reform.

SUMMARY:Entrepreneurial skills needed for many journalists today
DESCRIPTION:As many of us leave traditional media and still others never get a chance to get their feet in the door\, it behooves us to consider a new type of skills training for SPJ members and friends: entrepreneurship.  \n It’s a skill that has long been practiced by those of us who work as freelance or independent journalists and communicators. So we invited a three members who have survived and thrived in this milieu – John Ettorre\, Maria Shine Stewart and Eileen Beal – to come and share their tips\, their stories of trial and triumph\, and their encouragement to writers starting or struggling on this path\, on Feb. 22. That’s a Wednesday night and the program will be held at the Independence branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library\, starting at 7 p.m. (For more background on each of the three panelists\, just click on their underlined name and it will take you to another site with a bio.) \n Admission will be free\, and there is free parking as well. \nDate: Feb. 22 Time: 7 p.m. Place: Cuyahoga County Public Library/Independence Branch \nCo-sponsored with the Cleveland Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
