The second day’s plenary sessions begin with a presentation by Doctors David Sundwall of the University of Utah and Michael Fine, who is the Director of Health for the State of Rhode Island.

Its subject matter, on policy proposals currently being considered for the Medicaid program is discussed at 24th National Conference, 2nd Day: “Medicaid in the Crosshairs?”: Doctors David Sundwall, Michael Fine to Discuss Current, Emerging Issues in the Structure, Financing of Medicaid.

Tuesday morning’s second plenary panel will consist of Doctors Hector Flores of White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles, Doctor Perray A. Pugno of the American Academy of Family Physicians, and James Herman of the Penn State University College of Medicine and Penn State/Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The Reform Theme Overview Panel

Doctors Flores, Pugno and Herman will present the thesis that PPACA, the Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act, contains elements that will advance other long-term objectives of health care reformers.

Many such reforms have been advocated by those who have participated in the National Conferences on Primary Health Care Access. [See 24th National Conference: the Potential for Primary Healthcare Improvements as a Result of Reform Legislation.]
