2005 Health Policy Seminars and Congressional Staff Retreat
Alliance for Health Reform briefings are a valuable resource for congressional staff and journalists seeking the latest information on key health policy issues. In the coming year, the Alliance will conduct six briefings and host a congressional staff retreat. Possible briefing topics include: quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries; medical debt; implementation issues in the new Medicare drug benefit; international health policy issues; identification of high-performing health care systems; health care issues for adults ages 50 to 70; and increasing program enrollment for individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. The Catholic Health Association of the United States will provide cofunding for the congressional staff retreat. |

Health Care Opinion Leaders Poll
The Health Care Opinion Leaders Poll, developed in conjunction with Harris Interactive, Inc., will help the Fund advance public debate over crucial health policy issues and, in the process, enhance the foundation's visibility and relationships with experts and key audiences. Project staff will establish a panel of high-level experts across multiple sectors and regularly sample their opinions on major policy issues. This vehicle will be augmented with commissioned commentary from policy experts, with a focus on innovative, solution-oriented thinking. Poll results and commentaries will be posted on the Fund's Web site and disseminated to Fund audiences through e-mail alerts. |
