Event: Will Health Care Reform Heal the Federal Budget?
This Friday, November 6th U.S. Budget Watch will be hosting an event, "Will Health Care Reform Heal the Federal Budget?" This event aims to explore the fiscal implications of the various health care reform proposals. As various health care reform proposals are debated in Congress, there are questions about whether the plans will be fully paid for; whether gimmicks are being used to mask the true costs; and how successful any plan will ultimately be in "bending the health care cost curve." A panel of the nation's leading health care experts will discuss these and other related questions at this health care reform forum. Breakfast will be served.
