The Challenges and Opportunities Surrounding Healthcare Reform
-------------

Driving Health-Care Reform: Cruise or Crash? The wheels are in motion for U.S. health-care reform. The Obama Administration and Congress are exploring how to restructure the delivery of the nation’s health-care services with an eye toward improving quality, expanding coverage, and reducing costs — a lofty, sometimes a conflicting, set of goals.  President Obama has signaled that reform is best determined through a rigorous debate in Congress. As part of this deliberation, efforts are under way in the House and Senate, driven by teams from both political parties, to legislate this summer. This panel will preview the congressional debate as republican and democratic policy leaders and political operatives discuss their differing perspectives on the challenges and opportunities associated with the comprehensive reform of the U.S. health-care system.
