Today, at 2:30 p.m. ET / 11:30 a.m. PT, KFF
(Kaiser Family Foundation) will hold a discussion on the latest health policy
developments and their potential impact on the midterm elections.
Health care ranks
among the top issues voters want to hear candidates talk about on the
campaign trail, with costs being the most concerning health issue for voters.
Meanwhile, the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues
to be challenged in the judicial system with the latest case potentially
jeopardizing the law’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
And in four states, ACA Medicaid expansion initiatives are on the ballot to
newly expand or make an existing expansion permanent. Additionally, politically
charged debates on Trump administration changes to family planning programs
and “public charge” rules for immigrants could have major implications for
health coverage.
Today's briefing will take place at KFF’s new
conference center in its headquarters in San Francisco, CA. KFF’s President &
CEO Drew Altman
will provide opening remarks and lead the discussion. Senior Vice President &
Executive Director for Public Opinion and Survey Research Mollyann Brodie will
discuss the latest polling from KFF’s October Health Tracking Poll. Senior
Vice President for Health Reform Larry
Levitt and Kaiser Health News and California Healthline
Senior Editor and Columnist Emily
Bazar will discuss if both national and California focused
health policy issues are or are not playing a role in the midterms and the
implications for future action. A question and answer session with the
audience will follow the formal remarks.
Filling
the need for trusted information on national health issues, the Kaiser Family Foundation is a nonprofit
organization based in San Francisco, California.
