With a legal appeal pending on a lawsuit from the U.S. House\, the federal government and Congress are in a position to choose whether to continue reimbursing insurers for the subsidies\, which were established as part of the ACA to reduce out-of-pocket costs for lower-income people buying plans through the marketplaces. Failure to continue the payments would not only disrupt the marketplaces\, but it also might signal a more obstructionist approach to the ACA\, following House Republicans’ failed attempt at repeal. Continuing the payments could help to avoid further exits and premium increases by insurers. \nOn Thursday\, April 6\, from noon to 1 p.m. ET\, the Kaiser Family Foundation will host a web briefing for the media to explain how the cost-sharing reduction program works\, where it stands now\, and how consumers could be affected by either choice from the federal government. There will be new analysis presented on the magnitude of the cost-sharing payments and how much premiums would have to rise in different states to compensate for insurers’ loss of federal funding. \nPanelists will include Gary Claxton and Larry Levitt\, co-executive directors of the Foundation’s Study of Health Reform and Private Insurance. Rakesh Singh\, the Foundation’s vice president of communications\, will moderate the discussion.

As the nation moves toward a system of value-based health care\, the Summit is a chance for those in the allied health\, health\, law\, and public health fields to advance this transformation by sharing research\, insights\, and best practices about where and how to most effectively integrate civil legal assistance with healthcare and community services to improve individual and population health\, and to transform the nation’s health care system to be one based on value and health equity. \nApril 5-7\, 2017\nNational Harbor\, Maryland\nThe Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/2017-medical-legal-partnership-summit/ CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170405T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170405T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T150856Z CREATED:20231103T170840Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T150856Z UID:26322-1491354000-1491354000@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Using smartphones and DSLRs to tell stories DESCRIPTION:Resources\n\nRecorded webcast\nAndrea King Collier’s presentation\nPatricia Salber’s video\nInfo on shotgun mics\nFreelance Center\n\n \n\nWednesday\, April 5\, 3 p.m. ET\nOnline and social media platforms provide journalists with new ways of telling stories beyond the printed word.

Over the past 40 years\, nearly every state has passed statutes on health care decision-making. The laws vary from state-to-state\, from authorizing living wills or powers of attorney for health care to defining the conditions when withholding or withdrawing life sustaining care is permitted for patients who lack capacity.  \nDespite years of legal guidance\, questions remain regarding the statutory applicability in clinical practice. In 2016\, the American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging (ABA COLA) initiated a national survey to explore health care clinicians’ perspectives on questions regarding capacity and decision-making. Findings explore instances when the law and clinical practice clearly align\, when there are consultation differences between lawyers and clinical providers\, and outline the areas that still present the greatest challenges for health care decision making in clinical settings.  \nIn this webinar\, David Godfrey\, Senior Attorney to the ABA COLA\, will detail the survey findings and implications for the health and aging network working with older adults with diminished capacity. The webinar will be accompanied by an Issue Brief that highlights the survey findings and provides recommendations for the field.  \nPresenter: David Godfrey\, Senior Attorney\, American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/older-adults-and-health-care-decision-making-in-clinical-settings/ CATEGORIES:None END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170322T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170322T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T155725Z CREATED:20231103T170246Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T155725Z UID:26317-1490144400-1490144400@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Health care reform under the Trump administration DESCRIPTION:The Trump administration has promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
