Description: The U.S. health care system continues to have its problems. It costs too much and even with public policy developments we are not meeting the desired objectives. What's next? What else can we do? Discuss some of the emerging ideas that are being pursued and the likelihood of their success at solving our collective problem.

Description: This session will explore a solution to manage health expenses, a bit like the retirement risk managed by the three-legged stool, that is coming from government benefits, employer pension plan, and registered retirement savings plan. The solution could be called a Registered Health Savings Account (RHSA), and could then complement public coverage, and group insurance coverage

Description: Value-based care models have to date been focused on either broad, total-cost-of-care, primary care-based models; or on a limited set of episodes of care. This session will focus on initiatives to bring these concepts together for improved outcomes for patients and greater savings from an integrated solution.

Description: Our panel of experts will explore 'Blue Zone' communities, the common denominators slowing the aging process and the potential impacts these initiatives could have on disability and long-term care insurance.

Description: The document provides information on the ACA@15 research project, focusing on the extent that the Affordable Care Act legislation was able to meet its stated goals of reducing the uninsured rate, increasing coverage options, and providing affordable health insurance. It includes research findings, objectives, and key takeaways.

Description: While states face a wide variety of circumstances and have implemented diverse approaches to the MOE phase-out, we revisit the conversation to discuss emerging experience across stakeholders as we examine the operationalization of the PHE unwinding as it relates to this major disruptor in the distribution of the healthcare enrollment.

Description: In this session, we will address the current landscape of the standalone Medicare Part D market and the challenges to its sustainability.

Description: Those with ADL and/or cognitive needs and their family caregivers are in great need of support across their acute medical and long-term care custodial requirements. Today many entities are supporting families with integrated care delivery and financing approaches.

Description: Come build, and move beyond, the SOA funded research in Minnesota about the creation of a public/private program to provide catastrophic long term care (LTSS) coverage for citizens. Since that time other states have begun to be engaged in this effort. California has approved a research effort to look at models for funding their citizens LTC needs. New York State, through the efforts of their governor, is also looking at reforms that at some point will include financing. Colorado has begun to look at this as well. And Minnesota has funded new efforts to develop more on its own about both the catastrophic idea funded by SOA but also how to expand and change the delivery of LTC through existing home and community-based programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. This raises the question of whether LTC reform in the states will take this direction as interest in raising taxes (whether general revenue or by a payroll deduction) faces headwinds. Come learn about the recent state efforts and have a chance to offer your own assessment.
