National polls show that health care remains a top priority and concern of Americans.  With health care costs increasing and the retirement of one of our largest generations imminent, we face a major crossroads for this important issue.  Do we take the path advocated by some and start to force all citizens – even those enjoying private care – into substandard universal government run coverage?  Or, do we take a more dynamic approach that provides alternatives and choices for an informed public?  Furthermore, how do we continue to approach the volatile issue of federal incentives and disincentives to health care – namely the tax treatment in law?  Join us for a discussion of these questions as well as opportunities in current legislation – such as SCHIP – to formulate and advance a real health care reform agenda.
