Prioritizing the Patient As we struggle to control a raging pandemic, it is clear that the current healthcare system does not serve all patients equally. How can we address inequities in the access and delivery of healthcare and what policy changes can we expect from the new leaders in Washington? Can there be bipartisan agreement around expanding access to affordable health insurance, lowering out of pocket costs, and addressing surprise medical billing? And at the end of the day, how can we ensure that the healthcare landscape is designed with the patient at the center? The Hill's Editor-at-Large Steve Clemons will be joined by policymakers, leading physicians, and health experts for a discussion about moving the needle on quality, affordable healthcare. Speakers: Samantha Artiga, Vice President and Director, Racial Equity and Health Policy Program, Kaiser Family Foundation Georges Benjamin, Executive Director, American Public Health Association Rep. Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-IN), Member, Subcommittee on Health, Energy and Commerce Committee Donna M. Christensen, MD, Former U.S. Representative; Board Chair, Consumers for Quality Care Dr. Jalpa A. Doshi, Professor of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL), Vice-Chair, Energy and Commerce Committee; Chair, CBC Health Braintrust Watch Today! 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT Thursday, February 18th Questions for our speakers?
