Prospects for Health Care Reform in the Wake of Election 2004

Health care emerged as a central domestic policy issue during the 2004 election in both the Presidential campaign and in local Congressional races throughout the country. With the election behind us now, but with high costs and a growing number of uninsured still with us, what are the prospects for health reform? Which health care ideas from the campaign trail, if any, are likely to gain traction? Please join us for a discussion with Reps. Jim Cooper and Christopher Shays on the future of health care in Congress.
