SUMMARY:Talking Health: Insurance
DESCRIPTION:Health reform is picking up steam in Congress. A major flash point in the coming debate is whether employers and individuals should be able to obtain health insurance through a public plan that is similar to Medicare\, as well as private insurance from commercial carriers. \nThis Talking Health program   – from May 1\, 2009 – featured two experts: Cathy Schoen\, senior vice president for research and evaluation at The Commonwealth Fund\, and Bruce M. Bullen\, chief operating officer of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. They offered their judgments on what we can expect. Our two journalist experts\, Noam Levey\, a reporter at the Los Angeles Times; and Ceci Connolly\, a  staff writer at The Washington Post; provided their insights and  suggestions for covering what will be a major story in the coming months.

SUMMARY:Conservative Principles of Health Care Reform: The Road Ahead
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Heritage Foundation \nCongress is preparing to tackle the major task of reforming America's health care system.  As the country may soon be asked to make fundamental changes\, it's critical to understand the principles that should guide the debate.  \n  \n  \nBefore a nationalized health care agenda moves forward\, policymakers should answer questions about whether quality care will be accessible and affordable.  Topics – ranging from how best to reform the private health insurance market and expand coverage to the dangers of a government-run public plan competing with private plans – must be addressed.  \nSen. Mike Enzi\, the ranking member of the Senate Health\, Education\, Labor and Pensions Committee\, will explain how to shape the national conversation on health care reform. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nHosted byStuart M. Butler\, Ph.D.Vice President\, Domestic and Economic Policy Studies\, The Heritage Foundation \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThis event will be held at noon in the Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium\, 214 Massachusetts Avenue\, NE\, in Washington\, D.C.\, and can be viewed live online. \n  \n  \n  \nRSVP Online or call 202-675-1752. The Heritage Foundation's terms and conditions of attendance are posted online. News media inquiries\, please call (202) 675-1761.
