How can America preserve health insurance? Policy makers are weighing three options: preserve the current employer-based insurance, strengthen President Obama's program of offering subsidies to purchase private insurance, or creating a government-run health insurance system. Joel Ario, former Obama health official and a consultant at the Manatt firm, will assess each of these options. He will be joined by the the Deputy Majority Leader in the Minnesota State Senate and chair of the Health and Human Services Finance and Policy Committee, Sen.
