Professional Affairs Symposium Health Care Policy in the New Administration Health care issues are among the major points of debate in the 2000 election. The new Administration faces major decisions on Medicare reform - whether moderization of the traditional program or creation of an alternate system - and on how to finance coverage of prescription drugs. What will be the impact on patients and how can thoracic surgeons become involved? A panel including health care consultants to the presidential campaigns and members of The Society of Thoracic Surgeon's Professional Affairs Committee will look at what to expect in the new Congress and new Administration. |
