SLU’s Health Law Association wants to inform you on the health care reform recently passed by Congress.
I want to invite you to an event SLU’s Health Law Association (HLA) is putting together for the university-wide community. On Tuesday, March 30, at 7 pm, in SLU’s Busch Student Center (Saint Louis Room), HLA will be hosting a Health Reform Symposium. The purpose of the Symposium is information — informing students about the federal health reform bill’s various provisions, discussing likely outcomes and changes to health care that will follow, and answering questions from the graduate and undergraduate students.
We anticipate that the Symposium should last no longer than 1.5 hours. The format of the Symposium will include a 20-30 minute primer on the bill by Professor of Law Sidney Watson, followed by brief statements by the panelists about how the bill may impact various professions and constituents. Most of the time will be used for Q & A from the audience. The panelists will include professors from various disciplines, along with experts from the Missouri health care community.
We are fortunate to have informed health care scholars on our campus, and this health reform bill is momentous and complex. We hope to give students a valuable opportunity to learn the details of the reform package and have an informed discussion about the potential implications of this bill. We look forward to seeing you Tuesday, March 30!
