U.S. Health care spending will approach $5 trillion dollars this year, and regardless of the outcome of the election, managing this staggering cost will be a priority for policymakers and the public. Meanwhile, private equity is increasingly a player in health care finance, which could bring risks as well as opportunities. This policy forum brings together two leaders who have shaped health care financing debates in elected office and in academic research, respectively. Please join us for a lively, high stakes discussion, featuring Assemblymember Jim Wood and Professor Liran Einav of Stanford University.
