What’s Next for Health Policy?
This webinar looked ahead at the issues surrounding U.S. health care and at potential changes that Congress, the Trump administration, and the states will be likely to adopt in the coming months and years.
With or without major federal legislation like the American Health Care Act, what are the problems that persist in the health system, especially in the individual insurance market? What are the policy options to address them, through executive action, agency rulemaking, and legislation?
Joel M. Zinberg, visiting scholar, American Enterprise Institute
Timothy S. Jost, professor of law, Washington and Lee University School of Law
Julie Rovner, chief Washington correspondent, Kaiser Health News
Karl Eisenhower of the Alliance for Health Reform will moderated the discussion.

This webinar is a project of the Alliance for Health Reform and the National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) Foundation, in collaboration with the Association of Health Care Journalists.
