LA panel: looking forward to 2009...

Wednesday, June 18, 2008
 
For those health reformers not in the Bay Area, there's also a star-studded panel tomorrow (Thursday) night in Los Angeles. Sponsored by The California Endowment, it reflects on a special issue of The American Prospect that includes my recent summary of lessons learned from the California "year of health reform," as we attempt to seize a new opportunity in the next year. I'm away and not on the panel, but some of my fellow contributors to that issue are there. Here's the info...:
