2017 NorCal State of Reform: Reform We Can Believe In During a Time of Trump

Former Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber will discuss the pathways forward for states like California as they seek to continue progress of reform started by the ACA. Drawing upon his four decades of health policy experience, including reforming Oregon Medicaid to include a fixed cost trend line of 3.4%, Kitzhaber will connect the dots between the opportunity presented by a changing federal policy landscape and the challenges of funding the safety net in California. Ranked #2 on Modern Healthcare’s 2013 list of Most Influential in Healthcare, ahead of President Obama, Kitzhaber brings a depth of state and national experience few other policy makers can match.
