Health Reform

One of the major projects PCPCC staff is engaged in at the moment is meeting with advocates of various health reform proposals, and discussing the role that the Medical Home might play in those proposals. This includes meeting with a variety of organizations and advocates, including:

• Employer Trade Associations such as HR Policy Association, the Federation of American Hospitals, the Business Round Table, and the ERISA Industry Committee;
• Think Tanks such as The Brookings Institution, The Heritage Foundation, The New America Foundation, The Urban Institute, The Hudson Institute, and the American Enterprise Institute;
• Plans developed by Congressional representatives: The Healthy Americans Act sponsored by Senators Wyden and Bennet, H.R.5348 introduced by Representatives Langevin and Shays, or Representative Pete Stark;
• Members of Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) and Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) staff on their respective health care reform efforts
