Minnesota's Unfinished Agenda: Moving Health Reform Forward in An Uncertain Environment

Health reform inched along in Minnesota during 2012 -- steps were taken toward lowering costs, introducing new forms of medical practice, and expanding access. But much remained unfinished as federal deadlines rapidly approach. What is the unfinished agenda of greatest importance? How can Minnesota move forward? These questions will be taken up by a diverse set of experts and prominent government officials. Please join us for Health Care Reform: The Unfinished Agenda, the seventh forum in our series, Health Care Reform: How to Build on the Minnesota Model.
