After the Election: Can the New Congress Repeal Health Care Reform?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Many victorious candidates in the newly elected Republican-controlled House campaigned on repealing health care reform. But with the Senate remaining under Democratic control, what will become of efforts to "repeal and replace" President Obama's Affordable Care Act? Hudson Institute will host a forum on Thursday to examine the future of health care in light of the election results.

The panel will include Doug Badger, Partner at the Nickles Group and former deputy assistant to President George W. Bush for legislative affairs; James Capretta, Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center and former Senate and Office of Management and Budget staffer; Thomas Miller, Resident Fellow, American Enterprise Institute and former economist with the Joint Economic Committee; Nina Owcharenko, former Senate health staffer and Director, Health Policy Studies, Heritage Foundation; and Tevi Troy, Hudson Institute Visiting Senior Fellow and former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Hudson Visiting Fellow Hanns Kuttner will moderate the discussion.
