Thompson to Talk Health at Forum

By Dan Martin

Filed Thursday, May 24, 2007 at 8:59 AM

Washington University in St. Louis is planning to host a day-long public forum on Medicaid, called "Medicaid Financing: Challenges for Missouri and the Nation," on June 8th, 2007. Planned topics of discussion include healthcare accessability, cost, quality, and scope of coverage.

Among the speakers will be former US Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson.

Thompson, a candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, has recently called for federal reform of the Medicaid system as part of his campaign. His talk is entitled "Medicaid in the United States."

Sponsors for the event include the Missouri Foundation for Health, Government and Public Policy in Arts & Sciences, the Center for Health Policy in the School of Medicine, the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Though the forum is open to the public, registration is required to attend. The event runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
