The Feinstein 1200 will examine the potential savings that would accrue from health care reform through its Physician-Economist Seminar. The seminar will take place on September 14, 2009, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Clark Kerr Conference Center in Berkeley.
The now-confirmed panel includes:
Ken Jacobs, Chair of the Labor Center at UC Berkeley, who will speak on the relative merits of health care reform both with and without the public option.
William H. Dow, former Senior Economic Advisor to the Bush administration, now on the faculty of UC Berkeley's School of Public Health. Professor Dow has publicly supported the"Healthy San Francisco" program as a viable public option. He will give his academic, non-partisan view of the potential costs and savings of the public option.
James G. Kahn, M.D., of the University of California San Francisco Medical Center and California Physicians' Alliance, who will explain the savings that would accrue from a single payer system.
The seminar will begin at 6:30 p.m. There will be a question and answer period after the panelists speak. Seating is limited. Please email me for reservations at:
