21st annual “Wall Street Comes to Washington” roundtable

Wall Street analysts will explore what the latest market developments mean for national health policy and how the political climate will affect the outlook for health care companies, including health plans and hospitals, at the 21st annual Wall Street Comes to Washington Roundtable. The roundtable is presented by the Leonard D. Schaeffer Initiative for Innovation in Health Policy, which is a partnership of the Brookings Institution Center for Health Policy and the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics. It is funded by the Jaynes Koskinas Ted Giovanis Foundation for Health and Policy.

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.

Panelists will discuss the broad trends shaping the health care system, including an assessment of 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.
