SUMMARY:Web Briefing for Journalists: Repealing and Replacing Obamacare
DESCRIPTION:With passage of budget resolutions in the House and Senate\, Congressional efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act are underway. Key issues for Republicans in Congress and the Trump Administration have emerged around how quickly to move forward with partial repeal of the ACA through a budget reconciliation measure and whether replacement proposals should be considered simultaneous with a repeal debate. A variety of Congressional repeal proposals have been floated – including one by Rep. Tom Price\, President-elect Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services — but none have yet come up for a vote. \nOn Jan. 25 at 12:30 p.m. ET\, the Kaiser Family Foundation will host a web briefing for journalists to answer questions and sort through possible scenarios for repealing and replacing the ACA\, including implications for coverage\, the insurance market\, the Medicaid program\, and women’s health. \n\n\nLarry Levitt\, senior vice president for special initiatives and co-executive director of the Foundation’s Program for the Study of Health Reform and Private Insurance \n\n\nUsha Ranji\, the Foundation’s associate director for women’s health policy \n\n\nDiane Rowland\, the Foundation’s executive vice president \n\n\nRakesh Singh\, the Foundation’s vice president for communications\, will moderate. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:National Association of Health Data Organizations' Post-Election Town Hall Session
DESCRIPTION:This election brings with it significant changes\, likely more sweeping than we’ve experienced in our careers\, if not lifetimes. The new administration is likely to roll back provisions of the ACA and redefine the role of government in health\, creating uncertainty but perhaps also opportunities. \nThe National Association of Health Data Organizations predicts that state health care data programs will play a key role in the system transformation\, but that states and data agencies should prepare to respond to a dynamic\, and even chaotic\, environment. \nWhat are the implications for the state health data agencies and the public health care databases? How can we (or should we)\, as a community of practice\, respond? \nJoin a webinar on Dec 7 at noon MST. \nAfter registering at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2544016298194761987 you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

SUMMARY:ECRI Institute Conference on Health Systems and Addiction
DESCRIPTION:“Health Systems and Addiction: The Use and Misuse of Legal Substances” is a free\, status-taking conference designed for a broad audience. It is appropriate for providers who specialize in addiction\, but primarily targets health system executives\, practitioners\, researchers and policy makers who are seeking a greater understanding of substance use disorders and the role health systems play within acute-care and community-based care settings. \nPublic and payment policies shape how these institution-based systems act and this will be carefully examined. National thought leaders will bring evidence and insights on the scientific understanding of addiction\, innovations in the prevention of misuse of legal substances\, and initiatives to treat and manage addiction. \nJoin us in overcoming one of our nation’s most important public health concerns. \nPress are encouraged and welcome to attend.
