You will need your AHCJ username and password to access the recording. \nIf you don’t know your username and/or password\, click here and enter your email address to get a one-click login key. \nCoverage of the webcast\n\n\nNational panel weighs in on future of health exchange in Missouri\, St. Louis Post-Dispatch \n\n\nArio: Subsidies at risk\, Politico \n\n\n\nJust days after the November elections\, states will have to make final (or reasonably final) decisions about whether they are going to run their own health insurance exchange and what that will look like – or whether the federal government will take responsibility for all or part of the exchange. \nStates also are grappling with decisions about the essential benefits packages\, and although there’s no deadline\, expect the pace of their Medicaid expansion decision making to pick up after elections. \nIf President Obama is re-elected\, states will probably pick up the pace of implementation. If Mitt Romney wins\, they will probably anticipate repeal – but what happens to all the preparatory work they’ve been doing for the past two years\, and will it contribute to new state-based solutions that Romney says he wants? We’ll talk to three experts who are doing hands-on work with both “red” and “blue” states. \nSpeakers:\n\n\nJoel Ario\, managing director\, Manatt Health Solutions \n\n\nCheryl Smith\, director\, Leavitt Partners \n\n\nHeather Howard\, lecturer in public affairs\, Princeton University; director\, State Health Reform Assistance Network \n\n\nModerator: Joanne Kenen\, AHCJ topic leader/health reform; deputy health care editor\, Politico Pro \n\n\n \nJoel Ario is a managing director of Manatt Health Solutions\, an interdisciplinary policy and business advisory practice of Manatt\, Phelps & Phillips\, LLP.

He previously served as director of the Office of Health Insurance Exchanges at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS)\, where he led efforts to implement provisions of President Obama’s health care reform initiative. He was the administration’s point person for standing up health insurance exchanges. Prior to his federal service\, Ario was Pennsylvania insurance commissioner. He served on the executive committee of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) for a decade and was elected three times to as an NAIC officer.
