What:
In the U.S., health care is big business—accounting for nearly one-fifth of the overall economy. And federal health policies often move financial markets. Understanding emerging health care market trends and their implications can provide critical context for federal policymakers.
Washington policy expert and health economist Paul B. Ginsburg, director of Public Policy at the Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics at the University of Southern California (USC) and director of the Brookings Institution Center for Health Policy, will moderate the roundtable.
On Tuesday, Nov. 15, the Leonard D. Schaeffer Initiative for Innovation in Health Policy, a partnership of the Brookings Institution Center for Health Policy and the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics, will host the 21st annual “Wall Street Comes to Washington” Roundtable to explore the broad market trends shaping the health care system and how the political climate affects the outlook for health care companies. An expert panel of Wall Street analysts, moderated by Paul B. Ginsburg, director of the Center for Health Policy at Brookings, will discuss ongoing health reform implementation; open enrollment in the health insurance marketplaces; the growing Medicaid managed care market; regulation of insurance markets; insurance market consolidation; provider payment reform and integrating care delivery; underlying health care spending and insurance premium trends; hospital pricing and consolidation; hospital-physician relations; the outlook for Medicare; and other issues.
All speakers will take questions from the audience. The event will be live webcast, and you can join the conversation at #WallStRoundtable.
