DESCRIPTION:Can innovation save the world’s broken healthcare system? This question will be before hundreds of chief executive officers\, partners and top executives when they meet in San Francisco for the 2nd Annual Global Leaders Healthcare Forum on January 10\, 2012. \nThe executives\, from healthcare\, biotech and pharmaceutical companies and their financial investment counterparts\, represent 25 countries\, 50 industries and 500 companies with revenues and assets exceeding $1 trillion. They’ll be probing an urgent proposition facing healthcare: can we bridge the gap between innovation and resources? One panel\, moderated by Kathleen Sharp\, a contributor to The New York Times and author of Blood Feud\, will take a global view of healthcare and seek candid conclusions about world progress to date. The panel will grapple with a mixed picture\, because\, despite the enormous obstacles to providing affordable healthcare\, on the horizon are remarkable breakthroughs; for example\, new systems to help people keep track of all their own medical conditions. \nAnother panel will look at “Healthcare Regulatory Changes and the Impact on Innovation\, Pricing and Reimbursement in Emerging Healthcare Companies.” It takes years to get a new drug approved and can cost upwards of $1 billion to deliver a new drug. What incentives\, if any\, does the FDA have to help get new treatments to the market? So often\, it seems that the FDA pulls drugs off the market without complete explanation. \nOther panels will look at efforts to speed up the drug approval process\, how to provide incentives to help develop treatments\, use of the tax structure to reward companies that take risk for the public good\, and use of arbitration rather than litigation. \nThe Global Leaders is a digital community for CEOs and other senior-level executives in business\, government\, education and philanthropy. \nA brochure with details about the forum is at: http://multivu.com/assets/53568/documents/The-Global-Leaders-2nd-Annual-Healthcare-Conference-V-original.pdf. \nTo register: http://tglhealthcaresymposium.eventbrite.com/. \nDistinguished speakers at the forum will include: conference co-chair Dr. Margaret Liu\, Vice Chairman\, International Vaccine Institute; biotech and pharmaceutical pioneer Myrtle Potter\, CEO of The Myrtle Potter Company; and Harry Kraemer\, Executive Partner\, Madison Dearborn. Evening activities include a reception and dinner sponsored by CTPartners and featuring speakers: Dr. Molly Coye\, Chief Innovation Officer\, UCL Health Systems; John Figueroa\, CEO of Omnicare; and Mark Sirangelo\, Chairman\, Sierra Nevada Space Systems. \nLead sponsors include CTPartners\, Epstein Becker & Green\, and IDEA Pharma.

DESCRIPTION:When does a journalist stop being a citizen? Coverage of the Occupy Wall Street Movement and the Arab Spring have recently highlighted this ethical dilemma\, but journalistic paragon Edward R. Murrow grappled with it\, too. Do members of the Fourth Estate have the right to publicly express their views at the barricades? Should they tend to the wounded and intervene in attacks/detention? What does it mean to be a fact-gathering reporter and also a commentary writer? Come meet a group of journalists who have experienced these challenges in their lives and work. \nFeaturing \n\nSheri Fink\, M.D.Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Bernard L.

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 California to implement exchanges and other aspects of the health reform law? 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:Walter Zelman\, professor and director of health science at California State University – Los Angeles\, is an expert on California government\, politics\, health policy and markets\, specifically on the uninsured\, insurance and managed care\, and health care costs.
