CERGAS Special Seminar "Health Reform in the US: What Happened and What Happens Next?"

On the 3rd December in the Room 01, from 12.45 to 14.15 CERGAS organizes the Special seminar "Health Reform in the US: What Happened and What Happens Next?", speaker Michael Sparer, Professor and Chair in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University https://www.mailman.columbia.edu/people/our-faculty/mss16#field_biography.

The US health care system is in the midst of an extraordinary transformation, prompted in part by newly enacted federal legislation (the Affordable Care Act in 2010) and also by rapid changes in the health care marketplace (such as the consolidation of the industry).  In this talk, Professor Sparer summarizes the substance and politics of the Affordable Care Act, reviews the key trends in the health care marketplace, and speculates on what comes next for the US health care system.
