WASHINGTON, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dr. Delos "Toby" Cosgrove, CEO and president of the Cleveland Clinic, will speak at a July 20th National Press Club luncheon on health-care policy in the wake of the Supreme Court's historic Affordable Care Act ruling. Since that high-court decision last month, some experts have predicted continued consumer confusion and legal wrangling. In his nationally televised address, Dr. Cosgrove will help sort out the issues, and also discuss how the Clinic has been able to provide high-quality health care while holding down costs.
