Rapid integration of health care providers and insurers, private equity investment, and the emergence of health care “middlemen” have created financial incentives for the health system to keep health care costs rising.
Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms’ (CHIR) webinar series, “Untangling the Complex Web of Health Care Financial Interests,” will examine the financial interests entangling our health care system, and how policymakers can unravel this web to advance affordable health care.
Friday, March 27, 1:00 pm ET: At our first webinar in the Complex Web series, participants will learn:
- How states and advocates can assess market conditions and identify problem areas;
- What reporting has revealed about pricing practices, consolidation and real-world impacts; and
- How public opinion can help drive health care reform efforts.
Speakers include:
- Linda Blumberg, Ph.D., Research Professor, CHIR
- Sabrina Corlette, J.D., Founder and Co-Director, CHIR
- Amy Goldstein, Visiting Fellow, Brookings, and former Washington Post reporter
- Chris Hamby, Investigative Reporter, The New York Times
