Description

WITH JAN MALCOLM, CEO OF COURAGE CENTER Though Minnesota has a tradition of working collaboratively across party lines and in innovative public/private partnerships, the current state of division in Minnesota health policy is alarming. Bipartisan reforms in 2008 embraced the goals of expanding access, controlling cost, and improving quality. Unfortunately the way forward in practical terms is not at all clear today and Minnesota is now at risk of moving backward from our historical national leadership role.The latest version of a Governor’s Health Reform Task Force is now at work. Will it be able to bridge these divides and help us avoid the cost of further policy inaction? Jan Malcolm is chief executive officer of Courage Center, a Minnesota-based rehabilitation and resource center that advances the lives of children and adults experiencing brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, chronic pain, autism, and disabilities present since birth. She served as Commissioner of Health for Minnesota from 1999-2003 and is involved in various initiatives to strengthen the public health system.
