The 29th annual Health Care Forecast Conference welcomes Keynote Speaker Norm Ornstein, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute, who returns for his 23rd year to give us his inside-the-beltway insights on the outlook for health care reform. He will address health politics and policies in this Presidential election year with a very divided Congress, how impeachment activities in Congress may impact the introduction and passing of health legislation, and the ongoing debate in Congress on health care reform. Our conference will also discuss States' health care challenges, digital innovations in health care, and a strategic outlook on key segments of the health care market. Join Norm Ornstein and other distinguished speakers from the private sector, the government, think tanks and academia who will share their expert perspectives and insights.
This is an excellent opportunity to participate in an examination of public and private health care trends, and gain insight into how the economics and politics of health care reform will affect one's business organization and constituents.
