Description

Institutional dysfunction and party divisions thwart the kind of sustainable compromise that Americans want to achieve -- wider access, lower costs, and improved quality. Managing America's health care quagmire will require smart policy as well as enlightened leadership that strives for inclusive economic growth while addressing deep anxieties about the country's enormous demographic changes. Brooking's scholar Bill Galston will be joined by former Vice President Walter F. Mondale to discuss health care solutions. Professor Larry Jacobs will moderate. Bill Galston is a unique blend of learned scholar and practiced policy entrepreneur. He is the Ezra K. Zilkha Chair and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies Program in Washington DC. Mr. Galston has been a participant in six presidential campaigns and served for two years as Deputy Assistant for Domestic Policy to President Bill Clinton. He is an expert on political philosophy and American politics and writes a weekly column for the Wall Street Journal. He received a BA from Cornell and a PhD from the University of Chicago.
