Hudson Institute Debates the Long-Term Fiscal Impact of Health Care Reform

WASHINGTON -- Just as Congress begins to consider the largest expansion of federal support for health insurance since Medicare became law in 1965, Hudson Institute will debate the long-term fiscal implications of health care reform on June 17th.

Health costs will define the long-term fiscal challenge for America. The complex implications of future health care costs will be the topic of the Hudson panel.

Visiting Fellow Hanns Kuttner will present his new Hudson Institute paper on the risks and risk management options of health care reform. The paper can be downloaded here.
