MILI Lecture Series featuring Ralph Hall, JD - Webinar
The Constitutionality of the ACA - Current Status, Implications, and Next Steps
Recently, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision by a federal district court that the minimum essential coverage provision, a key element of the Affordable Care Act, is unconstitutional. The appellate court also addressed the question of severability - namely what other aspects of the ACA, if any, are also invalid as a result of the unconstitutionality of the individual mandate. Remember that the district court had held that all of the ACA is invalid as a result of the unconstitutionality of the individual mandate. The appellate court, however, held that a more nuanced assessment of severability is needed and remanded the case back to the district court. The Supreme Court has now said that it will hear the case.
Join Ralph Hall, JD, to discuss the constitutional issues raised by this case, current implications, and possible resolutions.
Social Determinants of Health Symposium - EVENT CHANGED TO WEBINAR
Join MILI for presentations from industry experts on unique best practices and a panel discussion on the Social & Business Value of Measuring and Addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) in the health care system.
SDoH shape the well-being and health of individuals, impact health equity, and drive a large fraction of healthcare costs. While a growing number of public and private initiatives emphasize SDoH, they are executed in silos. There is a need to better connect the healthcare system to social services and public initiatives within a community context.
Advanced registration is required.
