Hilltop Presents to Groups around the Country on Health Care Reform

This October, Hilltop Executive Director Charles Milligan has been making presentations to groups around the country on health care reform. On October 13, 2009, Milligan presented at an AcademyHealth-sponsored national teleconference. Over 100 lines called in, from Governor’s offices, insurance departments, Medicaid and SCHIP agencies, and so on, representing over 40 states. On October 23, 2009, Milligan gave a presentation to the Louisiana Health Care Commission; on October 24, 2009, he gave a presentation to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Latino Legislative Summit on Health Disparities. In each presentation, Milligan described the health care reform process currently occurring in Congress, gave an update on the status of the Senate and House bills, and discussed two scenarios for how the process could conclude. For the Latino Legislative Summit, Milligan also discussed implications for states based on each scenario. To view the Summit presentation, which includes the implications for states, click here.
