Please join us for The Supreme Court and Health Reform, the sixth forum in our series, Health Care Reform: How to Build on the Minnesota Model. A national panel of experts will examine the Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act and and identify its implications for the future of health reform.  How will key stakeholders react?  What are reasonable policy responses by Democrats and Republicans in Washington and Minnesota?  Will the Court's decision improve or harm efforts to expand access and control costs? 

About the series:

For generations, Minnesota has championed true public-private solutions to challenges that affect our state’s health care system. This approach, praised nationally as the “Minnesota Model”, merges private sector innovation and strong public policy in order to make health care as efficient and effective as possible for the greatest number of people.

In the spirit of this strong tradition of collaboration, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota and the Humphrey School's Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota are convening a series of public forums on how best to implement health care reform at the state level. By fostering discussions among local policy makers, stakeholders, and citizens, these meetings will explore today’s fiscal and demographic challenges and examine opportunities for ensuring Minnesota’s legacy as a leader in individual and community health. 

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, a non-profit health company, is dedicated to engaging people from all communities and sharing ideas about how to create a healthy future for all Minnesotans. 

The Center for the Study of Politics and Governance develops practical, independent, and non-partisan solutions to pressing political and policy challenges. CSPG brings together three critical components of public governance today: objective high quality analysis, publicly visible forums, and civic engagement.
