10	Briefing	Health Insurance Exchanges: Can States and the Federal Government Meet the Deadline?, 7/27/2012 According to the health reform law, health insurance exchanges are to begin covering people in every state by January 2014. But many states are just now beginning to think about their options for state-run exchanges and federal-state partnerships to run them. What needs to happen between now and January 2014 for states to successfully implement exchanges and other aspects of health reform? Will the federal government be prepared to administer exchanges in states that are not building their own? Will individuals who enroll in health plans through the federal exchange still be eligible for subsidies or premium tax credits? What does the Supreme Court ruling on the Medicaid expansion mean for exchanges and for coverage for the population below 133 percent of the federal poverty level? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund are sponsoring a July 27 breakfast briefing.
10	Briefing	Taking the Long View: Story Ideas After the Supreme Court's Health Reform Decision, 7/19/2012 It’s been said that the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will keep legions of lawyers employed for years to come. The same could be said for health reporters, political writers, bloggers, editorialists, talk show bookers, TV news producers and documentary makers. Rather than dousing controversy about the health reform law, the 5-4 decision has sparked more controversy. Dozens of questions remain – questions which media audiences will want answered. This briefing, cosponsored by the Alliance and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, provided reporters with dozens of story ideas for months to come.
10	Briefing	Health Care After the Supreme Court Decision: What's Next?, 7/9/2012 The Supreme Court has ruled on the constitutionality of the health reform law. But many provisions in the law require specific actions to be taken and deadlines to be met by states, providers and others in order to implement various aspects of health reform scheduled to take effect in January, 2014. How many states will be ready to open the doors of their health insurance exchanges on schedule? Will the federal government be prepared to administer such exchanges in states that are not building their own? Will states that choose to participate in the Medicaid expansion be ready to cover the newly eligible? Will some states likely choose not to participate in the expansion? To answer these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Family Foundation cosponsored a July 9 luncheon briefing.
10	Briefing	Webinar: Implementing Health Reform in the States, 3/27/2012 The health care overhaul law leaves many key decisions to the states. For example, states have a lot of leeway in how they set up health insurance exchanges, where uninsured individuals and small business will be able to buy coverage starting in 2014. This webinar offered an update on what's happening in the states with implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and what lies ahead. Cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Association of Health Care Journalists.
10	Briefing	A Reporter's Guide to the Supreme Court Arguments on Health Reform , 3/15/2012 The constitutional challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act finally come to a head the week of March 26. Thus far, there is no consensus on how the justices will rule. Will they strike down the individual mandate and leave the rest of the law intact? Will they alter or strike the Medicaid expansions in the law? Will they decide that no one will have standing to challenge the law until someone has to pay a penalty in 2015 for not being insured? To address these questions and others, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored a March 15 briefing for reporters.
10	Briefing	Essential Health Benefits: Balancing Affordability and Adequacy , 2/3/2012 Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), insurance plans offered through state insurance exchanges – as well as non-grandfathered plans offered in the individual and small group markets – will be required to cover a set of health benefits and services called the “essential health benefits” package. Guidance issued last month by the Department of Health and Human Services will give each state some discretion to specify benefits within the 10 categories specified in the law. The implementation of the essential health benefits package raises many questions. What is the task before states in selecting and designing “benchmark” plans that are comprehensive but also affordable? What does it mean for health plans to have the ability to offer benefits that are “substantially equal” to the benchmark plan? How will states incorporate state benefit mandates? What recommendations did the Institute of Medicine make on ensuring that health plans are affordable over time? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored a February 3 briefing.
10	Briefing	Inside Deficit Reduction: What It Means for Medicare, 10/11/2011 Proposals to generate Medicare savings abound, from the various commissions recommending change, members of Congress and others. Which proposals will, or should, receive serious consideration by the super committee in its quest to find $1.2 trillion or more in savings by its November 23 deadline? What impact would these changes have on beneficiaries, providers and insurers? Would stakeholders prefer the automatic, but capped, reductions in the sequester to any recommendations on Medicare reductions the super committee might make? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and four cosponsors presented an October 11 briefing. Cosponsors were The Commonwealth Fund, the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The SCAN Foundation.
10	Briefing	The Innovation Center: How Much Can It Improve Quality and Reduce Costs – and How Quickly?, 7/18/2011 The new Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation seeks to test innovative health care payment and service delivery models that can potentially enhance quality of care for beneficiaries while reducing costs. How is CMMI planning to administer its $10 billion in funding? What early projects is the center undertaking? These questions and others were addressed at a July 18 briefing cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund.
10	Briefing	Accountable Care Organizations: A New Paradigm for Health Care Delivery?, 5/13/2011 In addition to expanding coverage to 32 million previously uninsured Americans, the health reform law of 2010 aims to improve the health of the population and the quality of health care delivery, while reducing costs. One tool to pursue these goals is the creation of a national voluntary program for accountable care organizations (ACOs). The ACO provision and the proposed rule raise many questions. How can health care providers organize to provide more patient-centered, coordinated, accountable care? How will the new program affect the relationships among primary care providers, specialists, and hospitals? Will coordination among providers mean concentration of market power and higher prices? What lessons can be learned from existing ACOs about achieving better care, better health, and lower costs? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored a May 13 luncheon briefing.
10	Briefing	Boomers Come of Age: Covering Early Retirees and Other 50-64 Year-Olds , 1/24/2011 What provisions in the Affordable Care Act are of special interest to those aged 50-64, especially older workers and early retirees? Will funding for the Early Retirement Reinsurance Program last until 2014? Has the new Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan been successful so far? To answer these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and AARP sponsored a January 24 briefing.
10	Briefing	The Health Workforce Dream Team: Who Will Provide the Care?, 12/2/2010 Many providers and policymakers envision team-based care as an important way to improve quality and maximize resources. In addition to physicians, the “dream team” includes nurses and many other non-physician providers. But how will we ensure enough health care workers for a growing, aging population with ever-increasing chronic care needs? This briefing, sponsored by the Alliance and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, explored this question and others.
10	Briefing	Physician Workforce: The Next Generation , 11/15/2010 For years, there have been concerns about whether the supply of physicians can meet the demand of our nation’s population – a population that is growing in size, age and diversity. The new health reform law poses a new set of questions about how the increase in the insured population will affect the demand on the health care workforce. To answer these questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored a November 15 briefing.
10	Briefing	What Does the Election Mean for Health Reform and Other Health Issues? , 11/12/2010 Health reform is law. But how the law is implemented, and how quickly, depend in part on the results of the November 2 election. Now that the leadership of the House will soon change hands, what might Republicans do with respect to health reform? How might Democrats respond? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored a November 12 briefing.
10	Briefing	Designing a Marketplace that Works: Steps to Affordable Coverage, 10/22/2010 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted in March 2010 calls for the establishment of state health insurance exchanges -- marketplaces through which individuals and small businesses can purchase affordable insurance. This briefing looked at ACA provisions regarding exchanges, and the implementation challenges and opportunities associated with their establishment. Cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund.
10	Briefing	Getting Connected: Can the ACA Improve Access to Health Care in Rural Communities?, 10/13/2010 Residents of rural communities face unique health care challenges, including fewer health care providers, higher rates of chronic disease, and lower adoption rates of health IT. This briefing looked at provisions in the health reform law pertaining to rural care issues, including telehealth. Cosponsored by the United Health Foundation.
10	Briefing	More Than Meets the Eye: Long-Term Care Provisions in the New Reform Law, 10/1/2010 During the recent health reform debates, relatively little attention was given to the many provisions of the new law that deal directly with long-term care. This briefing explored those provisions, including the CLASS Act and Medicaid waivers for home- and community-based services. Cosponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
10	Briefing	Full Steam Ahead: Implementation Opportunities and Challenges for Employers and Consumers, 9/8/2010 The health reform law made a series of changes that will significantly affect the way employers provide health coverge to their employees, and will transform many of the choices and protections that consumers have in the health insurance marketplace. This briefing covered some of the health reform implementation issues that employers and consumers face. Cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
10	Briefing	50 Ways to Implement Health Reform: State Challenges and Federal Assistance, 8/2/2010 What challenges need to be overcome by the states to implement various provisions in the health reform law? This briefing, cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, looked into how the states and the federal government are working together to implement the law -- both near-term provisions, such as high-risk pools, as well as other provisions farther down the road, such as setting up exchanges and instituting changes to Medicaid eligibility.
10	Briefing	Health Reform Implementation: When Sausage-Making Moves Downtown, 7/9/2010 Now that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is law, what’s happening behind the scenes (as well as in public) to implement it? This briefing, cosponsored by the Alliance and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, looked at key tools and levers available to the federal government, including formal rulemaking and other policy processes, as well as efforts by stakeholders and others to affect final policies.
10	Briefing	What's Next? Reporting on Health Reform Between Now and 2014, 6/10/2010 For reporters covering health reform, the subject can now appear more complicated than ever. This briefing presented advice and story ideas from veteran reporters on covering the new reform law's implementation. Cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Association of Health Care Journalists.
10	Briefing	Pathways to Payment Innovation in a Post-Health Reform Era, 5/10/2010 This briefing explored the major provider payment initiatives in the new health reform law. Topics discussed included demonstration projects included in the law, the new Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, and the real-world practicalities involved in changing the way providers are paid. Cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund, a philanthropy based in New York City and Washington, DC.
10	Briefing	What's in There? The New Health Reform Law and Medicare, 5/7/2010 This briefing, another in in our series on what’s in the new health reform law, dealt exclusively with how the reform law affects Medicare. Sponsored by the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Family Foundation.
10	Briefing	What's in There? The New Health Reform Law and Private Insurance, 4/30/2010 Many provisions in the new reform law concern private health insurance. As part of a series exploring what’s in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, this briefing dealt exclusively with how the reform law affects access to private coverage, including the new federal high-risk pools, tax credits for small businesses, health insurance exchanges, the individual mandate and employer obligations. Cosponsored by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
10	Briefing	The New Health Reform Law and Medicaid, 4/23/2010 This briefing, cosponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation, is part of our ongoing series to explore the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA). A panel of well-qualified experts explained how the two health reform laws affect Medicaid, and to answered a variety of questions about topics such as Medicaid eligibility, financing, and other implementation issues.
10	Briefing	What's in There? An Ask-the-Experts Overview of the Health Reform Law, 4/16/2010 The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Reconciliation Act of 2010 are now law. Whether you favored or opposed their enactment, a full understanding of the new laws is essential to further discussion of reform issues. This briefing, cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund, gave attendees a chance to ask questions of a well-qualified panel of experts.
10	Briefing	Health Insurance Exchanges: House or Senate Style?, 1/8/2010 Health insurance exchanges can potentially serve a variety of policy ends, from promoting transparency and competition among health plans, to pooling or reallocating risk and administering subsidies for those unable to afford health insurance premiums. This briefing, cosponsored by the Alliance and The Commonwealth Fund, looked at how the House and Senate reform bills deal with exchanges. One major difference is that the House proposal would set up a national exchange, with states having the right to opt out; the Senate version envisions state exchanges. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each approach? How do the respective bills address the issue of risk adjustment? Who is allowed to participate in the exchanges?
10	Briefing	Getting the Most Bang for Our Post-Health Reform Buck: Enrolling and Retaining Everyone Who’s Eligible, 12/1/2009 One of the main goals of health reform is to increase access to health care. Frequently overlooked in this effort is finding effective and efficient mechanisms for determining eligibility and enrolling those who are eligible for existing public programs, primarily Medicaid and the the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). How can recruitment and enrollment be streamlined? How can enrollment in public programs affect states’ budgets? To answer these questions and others, the Alliance for Health Reform and PhRMA sponsored a December 1 briefing.
10	Briefing	Affordability and Health Reform: If We Mandate, Will They (and Can They) Pay?, 11/20/2009 The health reform proposals being considered in the House and Senate may impose responsibilities on both individuals and employers to have, and help pay for, coverage. Subsidies for some small businesses and for individuals with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level have been proposed. But will individuals and businesses be able to pay the amounts required of them above the subsidies? This Nov. 20 briefing cosponsored by the Alliance and The Commonwealth Fund explored this question and related ones.
10	Briefing	Public Opinion on Health Reform: What Do the Polls Mean?, 10/23/2009 Public support for health reform waxes and wanes depending, not only on what’s being proposed in the reform proposals, but also on who asks the question and how it is asked. Some recent polls indicate a majority of Americans support health care reform now; is that still the case? Do people want to pay for covering the uninsured – and if so, how much? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Family Foundation sponsored an October 23 briefing. Downloadable resources available, including lists of experts and websites.
10	Briefing	The Uninsured: What Do the New Numbers Mean for Health Reform?, 9/18/2009 As Congress hashes out proposals to expand coverage to tens of millions of uninsured Americans, the latest count of the number of uninsured is a significant factor. Though some believe economic recovery is underway, Americans are still losing jobs by the hundreds of thousands each month. With the loss of jobs, so goes health insurance. How does this reality affect health reform and the notion of building on the current system? Has the complexion of who is uninsured changed? What has been the role of public programs in the recession? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Family Foundation sponsored a September 18 briefing.
10	Briefing	Ask the Experts About Reform: Where Are We Now and Where Are We Headed?, 9/14/2009 Now that Congress has returned, we are clearly at a crucial stage in our consideration of how, and to what extent, we should reshape our health care system. What is the status of major reform bills? How do they differ from each other, and from the plan that may emerge from the Senate Finance Committee? What are some of the outstanding issues that need to be decided to get a bill to the president’s desk? This briefing, cosponsored by Eli Lilly, gave attendees a chance to pose whatever questions they liked about current health reform efforts on Capitol Hill.
10	Briefing	The Next 100 Days: Some Final Hurdles to Health Reform, 9/3/2009 Significant disagreements remain that must be worked out if health reform is to become law. Will there be a public plan option or, as an alternative, health insurance co-ops? How will reform be financed? Can the “cost curve” be bent, either during or after the 10-year window that’s the focus of Congressional Budget Office “scoring”? How might Medicare change – or facilitate change – in a reformed system? How will reform affect employers, especially small businesses? This briefing, cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, looked at some of the important issues that must be settled if President Obama is to sign a meaningful health reform bill this year.
10	Briefing	Show Me the Money: Options for Financing Health Reform, 7/31/2009 As the key congressional committees draft health reform legislation, they are keenly mindful of the costs of various provisions. Congress will look to an array of options, including both savings from the health care system and new revenues, to finance coverage expansions and reforms to both the delivery system and insurance markets. What options hold the most promise? How do the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) go about “scoring” various financing options? Are there credible options for financing reform? Is there room for bipartisan cooperation in paying for reform? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored a July 31 briefing.

10	Briefing	Health Reform for New Health Reform Reporters, 7/1/2009 For reporters who normally cover topics other than health reform, today’s reform debates can mean playing catch-up. They may be facing a new vocabulary – public plan option, health insurance cooperative, employer mandate, individual mandate. Maybe they're trying to figure out what all this means for readers, viewers or listeners. To help speed reporters along the learning curve, the Alliance for Health Reform sponsored a July 1 briefing. The webcast and resource materials compiled will be valuable for anyone wanting an overview of the health reform process in Washington to date, and where it's headed.
10	Briefing	Consumer Choice in Health Care: How Could Reform Affect Our Choices? How Could We Make Better Choices?, 6/25/2009 Now that health reform is being discussed in earnest on Capitol Hill, some wonder if we will be able to maintain our existing choices under a reformed health care system. Others maintain that our choices will grow, not shrink, as a result of reform, especially for the uninsured and the underinsured. Yet another viewpoint: Most Americans have choices now, but we don’t have enough information to make well-informed choices. This briefing, which was open to media only, brought together nationally known health policy experts for a conversation on consumer choice in health care. Cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
10	Briefing	Public Plan Option: Fair Competition or a Recipe for Crowd-Out? , 4/27/2009 One of the various proposals to expand coverage to the more than 45 million uninsured Americans is referred to as the “public plan option.” Though proposed only as part of a broader effort to expand coverage, the option is viewed in varying lights. Some see it as a tool for providing consumers affordable coverage by stimulating competition on the basis of quality and efficiency. Others see it as unfair competition for private insurers and, in the extreme, as a path to a single-payer system. What is actually meant by a public plan and how would it work? Is there evidence of fair competition from public plans? Might private plans outperform a public option? What are some examples of private systems today that are delivering quality care efficiently? What can we learn about crowd-out from state initiatives? Would individual and employer mandates make the plan more palatable? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored an April 27 briefing.
10	Briefing	Covering the Uninsured: Options for Reform, 3/2/2009 Forty-five million Americans were uninsured in 2007. They may have worked for an employer that didn’t offer coverage, or were eligible for coverage on the job but could not pay their share of the premiums. Different approaches are being considered for expanding coverage for the uninsured and underinsured in the context of health reform. Understanding the basics of these options, whether they build on the current system or propose to radically change the system, is important for moving the debate forward. Who are the uninsured and why aren’t they covered? How will each coverage option reduce the rolls of the uninsured? What difficulties might one encounter with particular options? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured sponsored a March 2 briefing.

10	Toolkit	The Sustainable Growth Rate: Seeking a ‘Doc Fix’, 4/5/2013 The public is keeping a close eye on federal budget deficit reduction efforts this year, including potential automatic spending cuts initially mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Yet one component of the debate has been largely ignored - the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR). Indeed, because of the SGR, physicians in January 2013 faced a 26.5 percent cut in Medicare reimbursement rates. Last-minute congressional intervention delayed the cut until January 2014 as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Without intervention, physicians will receive a 25 percent reimbursement cut in January 2014. At the same time, according to the most recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates, if Congress and the president agree to permanently eliminate the SGR, the deficit will grow by another $138 billion over 10 years. The cost of repealing the SGR has fallen significantly since last year, spiking a new interest in permanently fixing the problem. (Adobe Acrobat PDF: 318 kb)

9	Briefing	The Right Care at the Right Time: Are Retail Clinics Meeting a Need?, 6/18/2012 Urgent care centers and retail clinics are rapidly emerging within the health care system – a partial response to rising health care costs and a possible flood of new demand for care as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is fully implemented. Will care in these settings reduce emergency room use for primary care? Do they have the potential to ease the shortage of primary care providers? To answer these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and WellPoint, Inc. sponsored a June 18 luncheon briefing.
9	Briefing	Coping with Fragmented Payment in the Real World, 4/13/2012 Many analysts and policymakers agree that the fragmentation of the health care delivery system results in uncoordinated care, frustrated patients, higher costs, wasted administrative dollars and lost opportunities for rapid improvement in our health care system. How should payments be reformed in order to harmonize health care delivery and reduce this fragmentation? To answer this important question and related ones, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored an April 13 briefing.
9	Briefing	50 Million Uninsured: The Faces Behind the Headlines, 10/14/2011 Some 50 million Americans lacked health insurance in 2010. Who are the uninsured? Why do so many Americans lack coverage? What are the trends in coverage among different segments of the population, and where are these trends heading? What does the high number of uninsured Americans mean for health care costs and the health care system? This briefing, cosponsored by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, addressed these and related questions.
9	Briefing	Inside Deficit Reduction: What It Means for Health Care, 9/12/2011 After much heated debate on the U.S. debt limit, the Budget Control Act of 2011, containing more than $900 billion in spending reductions over 10 years, was passed on August 2. What exactly is called for in the law? What are the implications for health care programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and four cosponsors presented a September 12 luncheon briefing. Cosponsors were The Commonwealth Fund, the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The SCAN Foundation.
9	Briefing	Managing Costs and Improving Care: Team-based Care of the Chronically Ill, 8/11/2011 Treating those with multiple chronic conditions, including the elderly and disabled populations, accounts for 30 percent of total U.S. health care spending as of 2010. Half of this amount is spent by Medicare and Medicaid on behalf of beneficiaries eligible for both programs. It may be possible to improve the quality of care for the chronically ill while altering the trajectory of spending for their care. Savings have been shown in some private and public sector approaches using teams that span multiple sites of care, reduce fragmentation and improve health outcomes. How can Medicare, Medicaid, private plans and providers partner to develop new approaches and achieve these public health goals? This briefing, cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund, addressed these questions and more.
9	Briefing	Medicare: A Primer, 3/11/2011 Understanding how Medicare works is essential to understanding federal health policy. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 affects Medicare in a number of ways, including benefit improvements, changes in payments to Medicare plans and providers, revenues and delivery system reforms. What is Medicare and what is its role in the health care system? How does the health reform law affect Medicare, and what is Medicare's role in accomplishing health reform's goals? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Family Foundation sponsored a March 11 briefing.
9	Briefing	Medicaid: A Primer on the Federal-State Partnership, 3/4/2011 Medicaid will play a major role in extending coverage to millions of uninsured people in 2014 through provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. More than 16 million newly qualified individuals are expected to enroll as a result of the law. What is Medicaid and what is its role in the health care system? Who is eligible and what benefits are covered? How is the program administered? How much does Medicaid cost and how is it financed? What is Medicaid's role in health reform? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured sponsored a March 4 briefing.
9	Briefing	Investing in Health IT: What the U.S. and Other Countries Are Learning, 10/29/2010 Health information technology can help prevent medical errors, improve care coordination, increase access to providers in rural areas and improve the quality and value of care. Recent legislation, including the stimulus package and the new health reform law, invests substantial funds in health IT. What have the U.S. and other countries learned from their experience with health IT? This briefing, cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund, explored the topic.
9	Briefing	The New Health Reform Law and Young Adults, 5/24/2010 Young adults have among the highest uninsurance rates in the U.S. In 2008, three in 10 uninsured Americans – almost 14 million people – were between 19 and 29 years of age. As part of an ongoing effort to explore what is in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, this briefing dealt exclusively with how the reform law affects young adults. Cosponsored by the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund, a philanthropy based in New York City and Washington, DC.
9	Briefing	Workplace Wellness Programs, Healthy Behaviors and Health Reform, 12/7/2009 Unhealthy behavior is costing America billions in health care expenditures, and making us less healthy as a people. Many large employers, recognizing the impact on the health of their workers and the companies’ bottom lines, offer financial incentives to their employees to exercise regularly, improve their diets, lose weight and quit smoking, among other things. In the course of the health reform debate, the issue has arisen: which behaviors or health outcomes should be encouraged, and how large should the incentives be? What types of prevention models are working for business to keep workers healthier and restrain health costs? To answer these questions and others, the Alliance for Health Reform and AARP sponsored a December 7 briefing.
9	Briefing	Children's Health Coverage: Medicaid, CHIP, and Next Steps, 11/13/2009 Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) play a crucial role in the U.S. health insurance system by providing coverage for more than one in four children. And yet, more than 8 million children remain uninsured today, 70 percent of whom are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP. What factors influence children’s coverage? How could the reform bills in Congress change children's coverage? To discuss these questions and others, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored a November 13 briefing.
9	Briefing	The Role of Independent Commissions in Controlling Costs and Enhancing Value: International Lessons, 11/6/2009 This briefing examined the quasi-governmental authorities that Germany, the Netherlands and France have established to control health care costs, oversee quality, and regulate insurance and provider payment. The topic is timely as Congress considers setting up a new high-level entity to make recommendations to Congress on reducing health care costs and improving quality. Cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund.
9	Briefing	Rural Health: Laying the Foundation for Health Reform, 10/30/2009 Health care delivery poses unique challenges in rural communities. Provider shortages are particularly acute in rural America, where levels of educational achievement are generally lower and there are fewer opportunities to receive medical training. Unemployment and uninsurance rates are higher in rural areas than elsewhere. What provisions in the various reform proposals affect rural health care? What particular challenges need to be overcome in order to improve care delivery in rural areas? What aspects of health reform will require special accommodation in rural areas? Are delivery systems in rural areas currently able to handle the influx of new patients coverage expansion would bring? How does HIT factor into rural reform? To answer these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform hosted a briefing with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on October 30.
9	Briefing	Expanding Access to Care: More than Just an Insurance Card?, 8/10/2009 Health care access, particularly access to primary care, is on the minds of all who are following health reform efforts in Congress. President Obama and Democrats and Republicans from both houses agree that any reform plan must increase access. But how can that goal be accomplished, particularly in a time when reducing health care costs and increasing quality are also priorities? What provisions exist in the health reform proposals that speak directly to expanding access to health care? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored an Aug. 10 briefing. Click Read More for webcast, podcast, speakers' PowerPoints and other downloadable resource materials.
9	Briefing	Making the Case for Prevention: Tales from the Field, 6/19/2009 To improve the health of communities and the general population, an array of health reformers, states and businesses alike are all looking to a range of prevention measures such as chronic disease management, alcohol and smoking cessation, and obesity programs. The hope is that these measures will also improve value and control costs. What types of prevention models are working for business and government? What impact on health have prevention programs had? Does the evidence prove that prevention can cut costs? What emphasis should be placed on community vs. clinical prevention? What improvements need to be made in public health infrastructure, workforce and training to improve prevention efforts? To discuss these recommendations and questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored a June 19 briefing.
9	Briefing	Health Insurance Exchanges: See How They Run, 5/11/2009 Various proposals to expand coverage to uninsured Americans and reform the health insurance market include the establishment of a health insurance exchange. The most widely discussed example of such an exchange is in Massachusetts, and it arrived recently with Massachusetts’ 2007 health reform efforts. Many are looking to the Connector, as the Massachusetts program is known, to inform their discussions of a national insurance exchange. But is that the only model? What is actually meant by a health insurance exchange and how might it work? What’s in it for the consumer? How would vulnerable populations be protected? Who stands to benefit? To answer these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored this May 11 briefing.
9	Briefing	Pathways to Universal Coverage: Payment Reform Strategies for Containing Costs, 3/20/2009 Provider payment policy is a hot topic again with the Medicare physician payment system due for a fix and value-based payment and other cost containment/quality schemes on the table as part of the health reform debate. This briefing sponsored by the Alliance and The Commonwealth Fund examined cost containment options in payment reform.

9	Toolkit	The Presidential Health Care Plans: What You Need to Know, 10/11/2012 Health care is an increasingly important issue in this year's close presidential election, but sorting out what the candidates are proposing - and what it all means - is difficult. The resources in this new Toolkit will help you to move beyond the rhetoric. The debate can be boiled down to three central questions. Should the country continue to implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, should states receive federal block grants to run Medicaid as they wish, and how can the federal government lower costs in Medicare, the health care program for seniors and the disabled? The Toolkit includes: An explanation of the candidates' positions Key facts about the status of health care coverage, Medicare and Medicaid Links to news articles and reports explaining and analyzing the proposals and listing advisers to the candidates A list of health care experts who understand the plans and their implications (Adobe Acrobat PDF: 103 kb)
9	Issue Brief	Health Care Workforce: Future Supply vs. Demand, 4/19/2011 The physician and nurse shortage is plain to see, especially in certain parts of the country. But experts disagree on how best to fix this problem. Enlarge medical school class size? Create more residency slots? Let nurse practitioners and physicians assistants have more authority? This issue brief explores many options for growing the health care workforce, including those in the Affordable Care Act. Written by Deanna Okrent of the Alliance and supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. (Adobe Acrobat PDF: 460 kb)
9	Toolkit	Budget Reconciliation: An Updated Toolkit, 3/3/2010 Health reform passed in March 2010 thanks, in part, to a budget reconciliation bill that made changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This toolkit explains how reconciliation works, and offers links to resources that go into more detail on subjects such as the “Byrd rule” and the important role of the Senate parliamentarian. (Adobe Acrobat PDF: 134 kb)
9	Issue Brief	Access to Care: Beyond an Insurance Card, 11/5/2009 If tens of millions of American gain health coverage, can the current health system meet the new demand? This issue brief looks at why so many now live in physician shortage areas, and what can be done to help ensure access to care after reform. Written by Deanna Okrent, Alliance senior health policy associate. Supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. (Adobe Acrobat PDF: 136 kb)
9	Other Publication	A Call for Action: The Pepper Commission Final Report, 10/31/2007 Seventeen years ago, a bipartisan congressional commission agreed unanimously that “all Americans should have access to affordable health and long-term care coverage in an efficient and effective system.” The Pepper Commission, chaired by Sen. Claude Pepper and then by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, is all but forgotten. But the insights and recommendations contained in the commission’s final report make for fascinating reading today and offer guidance as the nation ramps up for another try at major health reform.

8	Briefing	Community Health Centers: Can They Plug the Gaps in the Safety Net?, 7/23/2012 Currently, there are more than 1,100 community health centers providing care to approximately 20.2 million people in every state across the U.S. The centers, which have historically received bipartisan support, are in a unique position to serve the millions more who will gain coverage under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Nearly 40 percent of current CHC patients have no health insurance; approximately one third are children. Who do community health centers currently serve and how will this change as the health reform law plays out? How are CHCs faring in the current economic environment? Is there sufficient federal oversight of their operations? How are states and safety-net systems planning for 2014 and the challenges and opportunities presented under the ACA? What will be the impact of scheduled cuts to discretionary programs under the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the sequester)? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Centene Corporation sponsored a July 23 briefing.
8	Briefing	Program Integrity: How Much Money Can Combating Health Care Fraud and Abuse Save? , 3/5/2012 Headlines regularly call attention to pockets of fraudulent activity in the health care area--scams that amount to millions and potentially billions of dollars. The stories typically focus on catching the crooks but not so much on efforts to prevent fraud, waste and abuse in health care programs. Both types of efforts are important. With continued concerns about rising health care costs and the current focus on deficit reduction, how much money can be saved and put to better use by reducing waste, abuse and outright fraud? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Centene Corporation sponsored a March 5 briefing. The focus was not so much on the criminal aspect of the problem, but rather on how to coordinate the efforts of Medicaid, Medicare, the private sector and others to prevent and combat the waste, fraud and abuse.
8	Briefing	Inside Deficit Reduction: What Now?, 12/2/2011 The Budget Control Act of 2011 tasked six senators and six representatives, from both sides of the aisle, to find at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade. After weeks of deliberation, members of the “Super Committee” did not reach an agreement by the November 23 deadline. As a result, automatic spending cuts to defense and social welfare programs are set to kick in beginning in January 2013, leaving many questions about the short-term and long-term consequences of the committee’s failed negotiations. How will Congress and the executive branch react, especially in the context of a Presidential election campaign? What impact will a sequester have on the health care sector? Is Congress likely to devise alternatives by 2013, given such vast differences among lawmakers? How will implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be affected? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and four cosponsors presented a December 2 briefing.
8	Briefing	Medicaid Innovations: Can Managed Care Cut Costs and Improve Value?, 10/28/2011 According to a recent survey, a number of states have expressed interest in expanding managed care approaches within their Medicaid programs. But while managed care may present an opportunity for better delivery of care, it presents challenges within certain populations and geographic areas. What are the different models for managed care within the Medicaid program? What impact would these changes have on beneficiaries, providers and health plans? What have we learned from past efforts to expand managed care? How are states planning to use managed care to prepare for 2014, when 16 million newly qualified beneficiaries begin enrolling in Medicaid as authorized by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? To address these questions and more, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Centene Corporation sponsored an October 28 briefing.
8	Briefing	Long-term Services and Supports: A Rebalancing Act, 10/3/2011 The ongoing debate over the federal budget and deficit reduction presents a balancing act for policy makers, as many compelling interests compete for scarce dollars. But for 10 million older adults and people with disabilities who need long-term services and supports, there is a “rebalancing act” in progress. The aim is to serve more people at home and in the community, and fewer people in institutions. Are there sufficient home- and community-based programs in all states to address the aging population? The growing number of adults with disabilities? How can incentives in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be used to develop new approaches in home- and community-based services? How effective are existing federal initiatives to promote care in home- and community-based settings, such as the “Money Follows the Person” program? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored an October 3 luncheon briefing.
8	Briefing	Preventing Chronic Disease: The New Public Health, 6/10/2011 The nation is facing an epidemic of chronic disease. There is a groundswell of activity in local communities to support healthier lifestyles and help people make long-lasting and sustainable changes that can reduce their risk for chronic diseases. A number of provisions in the health reform law are aimed directly at improving population health by addressing conditions where Americans, live, learn, work, and play - at their schools, worksites, restaurants and more. At this briefing, cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a distinguished panel addressed questions such as: Can this focus on the new public health be sustained in light of budget constraints on the federal, state, and local levels? How does the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) relate to public health and prevention activities? How are resources in the $15 billion Public Health and Prevention fund, set up under the ACA, being deployed? What efforts are being made to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in the health of communities nationwide?
8	Briefing	Community Coalitions: Pursuing Better Quality Health Care One Locality at a Time , 4/15/2011 Stakeholders in dozens of communities around the nation are taking action to improve quality of care locally by engaging in one or more collaborations. Many are engaged in one or more such initiatives as Aligning Forces for Quality, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation project; Chartered Value Exchanges, sponsored by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ); and the Beacon Community Program, run by the Office of the National Coordinator for health information technology. What does each program offer? What goals do they have in common? How do they relate to a national quality strategy? This briefing, cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, addressed these questions and more.
8	Briefing	The State of Children's Health, Care and Coverage, 4/4/2011 A record 90 percent of children now have health coverage – one-third of whom are covered by public programs, Medicaid and CHIP. Yet about 7.5 million children remain uninsured, including 5 million who are eligible for Medicaid and CHIP but not enrolled. Who are the at-risk kids? How are states faring with enrollment and retention? Are state budget issues creating a dilemma for kids' coverage programs? How will children and families be affected once major parts of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) become effective in 2014? What initiatives are in place to keep kids healthy? This luncheon briefing, cosponsored by the Alliance and the Centene Corporation, addressed these and related questions.
8	Briefing	Shared Medical Decision Making: We're in This Together , 2/14/2011 The relationship between patients and doctors has been changing from the traditional model in which a doctor decides on a treatment course without significant patient input. One way to facilitate shared decision making is through the use of decision support tools, which offer the patient high quality medical information in an easily understandable format. How do these tools work? How might shared decision making benefit patients, purchasers and providers of care? What role can shared decision making play in the larger effort to improve the quality and lower the cost of health care? How does the Affordable Care Act affect shared decision making? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform, the National Committee for Quality Assurance and the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making sponsored a February 14 briefing.
8	Briefing	Better Care - Lower Costs: Exploring the Promise of Patient Engagement, 3/5/2010 Engaging consumers more directly in their care may improve health outcomes and help control the costs of care. This program focused on the potential for changing consumer behavior to promote the use of effective interventions and discourage unnecessary care. Cosponsored by the AARP Public Policy Institute.
8	Briefing	Reforming the Health Care Delivery System: A Team Approach, 3/27/2009 There is an emerging consensus that health reform must encompass ways to improve quality and value in the system, and one of the prime targets for reform is the way care is delivered. Some health care organizations have combined thoughtful use of technology and better use of personnel to improve preventive care and treatment of chronic disease, obtain better outcomes, and offer additional job satisfaction to their health care workforce. This briefing, sponsored by the Alliance, Kaiser Permanente and the AFL-CIO, explored ways to enhance a team approach to care.
8	Briefing	How Wide Has the Window Opened for Health Reform?, 12/11/2008 Now that we know the next occupants of the White House and the composition of the next Congress, many Americans expect to see an effort to enact significant reform of America’s health system. What are the prospects for expanding health coverage to the uninsured, given the recession? Will we see workable approaches to constraining health care costs and improving quality? Could the tax treatment of employer-sponsored health benefits change? Who will be the key players in health reform – in the Senate, the House and the Obama Administration? Can we avoid the hurdles encountered during previous efforts at significant health reform? This briefing, sponsored by the Alliance and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, addressed these and related questions.
8	Briefing	Lessons on Coverage from Abroad: How Do the Dutch, German and Swiss Health Care Systems Do It?, 11/14/2008 The pre-election debate put health care reform ideas front and center. Now policymakers have to deal with translating theory into action under challenging economic conditions. Why completely reinvent the wheel when there are existing universal coverage systems that may have components the U.S. can learn from? This briefing, cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund, provided an in-depth look at the very different approaches of Switzerland, Germany and Holland to providing near-universal coverage to their citizens. How is coverage provided in each system? How successful is each in achieving maximum coverage? What are the roles of private insurance and government in each? What mechanisms are in place, if any, to help each system manage in difficult economic times? Panelists addressed these and related questions.
8	Briefing	Massachusetts Health Reform: A Giant Step Toward Universal Coverage? , 11/7/2008 The Massachusetts model, enacted in 2006, is being watched closely for lessons that might guide national efforts to reduce the number of uninsured and underinsured nationally. The ranks of the uninsured in Massachusetts have dropped dramatically, yet questions remain. Precisely, how is the pursuit of universal coverage progressing in Massachusetts? What impact, if any, are the reforms having on insurance costs? Are the newly insured able to actually get the care they need? Is subsidized coverage “crowding out” employer-sponsored coverage? How are employers responding to the reforms more generally? Can the state afford the subsidies as economic problems affect tax revenues? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored a November 7 luncheon briefing.
8	Briefing	Latino Health and National Health Reform, 8/13/2008 Hispanics will make up almost three out of every 10 people in the U.S. by 2050. What health concerns do Latinos have? What special prevention efforts are needed for this community? Will we have enough health professionals who are culturally competent to care for Latinos? How should national health reform proposals address the health needs of Latinos? Who should pay for the health care of undocumented immigrants without health coverage? This briefing, cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, addressed these and related questions.
8	Briefing	Using Medicare as Part of Coverage Expansion?, 6/6/2008 A new proposal by The Commonwealth Fund suggests, as a major component of moving toward coverage for all, a Medicare-like program that uninsured adults below the age of 65 could purchase voluntarily. This briefing, co-sponsored by the Fund, featured speakers both favoring and skeptical about this approach.
8	Briefing	Putting the Brakes on Health Care Costs: Would the Candidates’ Plans Work? Are There Better Solutions? , 6/3/2008 Would the health plans of Sens. Obama and McCain curb health care spending? Doubtful, said three respected health economists speaking at this briefing cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Other solutions offer more cost-cutting potential, speakers said.
8	Briefing	Massachusetts Health Reform: Bragging Rights and Growing Pains, 5/19/2008 The Massachusetts health care reform plan has been a success in many ways, with more than 340,000 formerly uninsured residents gaining coverage. But the program is costing more than expected and the majority of the newly insured require hefty government subsidies that may not be sustainable. This briefing, cosponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation, looked into the program's successes and challenges.
8	Briefing	Private Financing and High-level Functioning: Some International Approaches to Health Reform, 4/11/2008 While the United States delivers some of the best medical care in the world, there are major inefficiencies in our system. We have high rates of medical errors, millions without health insurance coverage, and lower utilization of advanced health information technology than most western European nations. What can we learn about coverage patterns and health care costs in other countries that might help inform our choices in the U.S.? This briefing, cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund, addressed these and related questions.
8	Briefing	Health Care in the 2008 Elections: Where Do the Candidates Stand on Promoting a High-Performance Health System?, 3/14/2008 This event featured advocates for the health plans of Sens. Clinton, Obama and McCain describing key features of their candidates' plans and how the plans differ. A leadoff presentation by Sara Collins of The Commonwealth Fund offered the Fund's guidance for health reform proposals, with estimates of future savings if efficiencies proposed by the Fund were to be combined with universal health coverage. Cosponsored by The Commonwealth Fund.
8	Briefing	Health Information Technology and Privacy: Is There a Path to Consensus? , 2/29/2008 Why do Americans trust information technology when they do their banking, make airline reservations, pay their bills, and file their tax returns, but not to access their medical information electronically? Some believe that technology poses a serious threat to Americans’ medical privacy rights; such people would add strict privacy protections to any health IT legislation. Others assert that the privacy risks are inconsequential, and that all health care providers should use electronic health records and participate in health information exchange networks. What’s the best way to balance the move to electronic health records and other health IT applications against the need to protect the privacy of individuals’ medical histories? This briefing, cosponsored with the Divided We Fail Initiative, addressed these and related questions.
8	Briefing	Can We Contain Health Care Costs Without Compromising Quality?, 1/28/2008 With health care spending topping two trillion dollars in 2006, currently at 16 percent of gross domestic product and expected to rise to 20 percent by 2015, it is no surprise that most Americans are dissatisfied with the total cost of care. But who or what are the biggest culprits in a high cost system of care, and what can be done to contain costs? This briefing, sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund and the Alliance, addressed these and related questions.
8	Briefing	Health Reform Lessons Learned: Veterans of 1993-94 Offer Advice to Today's Reformers, 1/18/2008 No matter who wins the White House and control of Congress in November, health reform legislation will likely be a front-burner issue for both House and Senate in 2009. The debates about reform, and the behind-the-scenes meetings, of 1993 and 1994 produced a wealth of knowledge on what should be done differently the next time Congress takes up this issue. What derailed health reform in 1994? What tactical and strategic decisions, in areas such as timing and content, affected the outcome? What part did outside groups play? How should the issue be approached differently the next time around? What are the appropriate roles for congressional and executive branch leadership in getting reform done? This briefing, cosponsored with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, addressed these and related questions.
8	Briefing	Health Reform Do’s and Don’ts: Veterans of the Early 90s’ Health Reform Debate Offer Advice to Today’s Reformers, 12/12/2007 To offer guidance to today’s health reformers and reporters covering today’s reform efforts, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored a December 12 briefing featuring veterans of the 1990s reform debates.
8	Briefing	STATE COVERAGE INITIATIVES: Will Moving Toward Universal Coverage Make the System Work Better for Everyone?, 10/26/2007 There is mounting evidence that the U.S. system is often financially inefficient and delivers poor quality. There is also research suggesting that having so many people without insurance can adversely affect the quality of care for everyone, even those with insurance. A new report by The Commonwealth Fund sets forth principles for providing universal coverage in ways that could promote a high performance health care system. Several states are already trying to reform their health care systems. How is implementation of universal coverage progressing in Massachusetts? How are negotiations moving forward in California and Pennsylvania to pass health care reform legislation? In addition to improving access and quality, what else should states do to improve the health and health care of their citizens? This briefing, sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund and the Alliance, addressed these and other important questions.
8	Briefing	HEALTH CARE and the '08 ELECTION: A Preview, 7/10/2007 As presidential candidates of both major parties woo the American public, particularly in early caucus and primary states, they are gravitating toward a common public concern: the U.S. health care system. Potential voters are well aware of rising premiums and higher out of pocket costs to families, the impact of high health care costs on America’s economic competitiveness and on federal and state budgets, and the ever-growing number of uninsured – now nearly 45 million. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll released in March shows that health care ranks as the second most important issue that the public would like discussed by presidential candidates for the 2008 election.
8	Briefing	AIMING HIGHER: Results from a State Scorecard on Health System Performance , 6/15/2007 Following up on last year’s national scorecard on the U.S. health system performance, The Commonwealth Fund has developed a state scorecard to assess state variations in key areas of access, quality, hospital use and cost, equity and health outcomes. Results of the state-level comparisons were reviewed and analyzed at a luncheon briefing sponsored by the Fund and the Alliance for Health Reform.

7	Briefing	The Health of Safety-Net Hospitals: How are They Faring? What’s the Outlook?, 6/4/2012 Safety-net hospitals play a critical role in providing care to vulnerable populations, especially at a time when employer-sponsored coverage has declined and the demand for safety-net services has gone up. While the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) creates some opportunities for safety-net providers, it also presents significant challenges. Who does the safety-net system currently serve and how will this change as the health reform law plays out? How are safety-net hospitals faring in the current economic environment and how are they altering the way they provide care right now? What are some policy options for sustaining financial viability of safety-net hospitals in the short-term and long-term? The Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund cosponsored this briefing to answer these and related questions.
7	Briefing	Tax Treatment of Health Insurance: A Primer, 12/5/2008 In recent months, the tax treatment of health insurance has gained a lot of attention – both during the presidential campaign and in health reform debates in Congress. What is the current tax treatment of employer-sponsored health insurance? How does the tax treatment of health insurance impact employers? How does it impact employees? Do some workers benefit more than others from the current tax subsidies? Does altering the tax treatment of health insurance have the potential to expand or diminish coverage? Will cost containment efforts lead policy makers to consider altering the tax treatment of health insurance? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Family Foundation sponsored a December 5 briefing.
7	Briefing	Primary Care Innovation: The Patient-Centered Medical Home , 9/22/2008 It is widely accepted that the U.S. health care system, although touted by some as the “best system in the world,” has room for improvement. Care is often fragmented and lacks coordination, which compromises quality and efficiency. Incentives for providers have not caught up with the demographics of chronic care. Can health care be refocused from acute care services to the management of chronic conditions? Is payment reform the first step in restructuring health care delivery? What part can private integrated delivery systems play? Are different models needed in large group practices and smaller ones? What challenges face policymakers in the current climate of health care reform? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund sponsored a September 22 briefing.
7	Briefing	Comparative Effectiveness: Can We Get Better Health Value for the Dollars We Spend?, 4/4/2008 Comparative effectiveness research holds out the tantalizing prospect of making it easier for patients and their doctors to choose the best treatment. Who should conduct such research -- government, the private sector or some combination? Who should decide which interventions to evaluate? Who will pay for it? This briefing, cosponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, addressed these and related questions.
7	Briefing	Employer-Based Coverage: Shore It Up or Ship It Out?, 9/21/2007 Employer-sponsored coverage rates have been steadily falling, from 66 percent of non-elderly Americans in 2000 to slightly below 60 percent in 2006. Experts cite rising premium costs and workforce changes as factors driving the erosion in such coverage. What are the pros and cons of employer-sponsored coverage? Who is losing coverage and why? Is it possible to maintain or improve health coverage for employees and also prevent jobs from moving overseas? This briefing, sponsored by the Alliance and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, explored these and related questions.

6	Briefing	Medicaid: The Essentials, 2/13/2009 As a state-run program with broad federal guidelines, Medicaid covers health and long-term care services for scores of millions of low-income Americans. Conversations are well underway about the role of Medicaid as a vehicle for economic stimulus, and about its role in health coverage expansion proposals. Who is eligible for Medicaid? How is it administered? What benefits are covered? What is its role in long-term care? What role does the program play for Medicare beneficiaries? How is Medicaid financed? How much of the funding for the program comes from the federal government? How much do states pay for Medicaid and how much discretion do they have in determining who is covered, and for what services? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured sponsored a February 13 luncheon briefing.
6	Briefing	Helping 125 Million Americans: Improving Care for Chronic Conditions, 3/28/2008 An estimated 125 million individuals in the United States have a chronic illness, disability or functional limitation. Chronic diseases are the number one cause of death and disability in the United States and account for three quarters of the nation’s health spending. What models for improving care coordination exist and how can they be more widely implemented? Is there evidence that improved treatment of chronic care can reduce costs? Or increase costs? This briefing, cosponsored with Novartis and the National Institute for Health Care Management, addresses these and related questions.
