Abstract

Description

The cost and access to medical providers is a pressing challenge as health reform proceeds. How will consumers respond to the scope of the provider networks offered by insurers? Will consumers recoil against narrow networks, as they did several decades ago when managed care was introduced? Another set of challenges relates to the adequacy of medical care as demand rises. How well are Minnesota physicians and hospitals meeting medical care demand? How should the medical workforce be developed to handle the new and growing demands into the future? Still another challenge relates to provider pricing and the overall costs to the health care system. Join us for discussion of these questions with national and local experts. The conversation will be moderated by Professor Larry Jacobs.
