HSC's 12th Annual Wall Street Comes to Washington Conference

The Center for Studying Health System Change convened its 12th annual conference bringing Wall Street equity analysts and health policy experts together to discuss health care market developments and their policy implications. The event continued the long-running series that tapped financial market analysts for insights into industry dynamics that were relevant to the Washington health policy community.

The roundtable examined trends in health care spending and insurance premiums, the competitive landscape among hospitals and health plans, the growing adoption of consumer-directed health plans, and the implications of Medicare policy changes for the health care industry. Equity analysts provided perspectives on how publicly traded health care companies were positioning themselves in a changing market, while policy analysts connected these market developments to broader debates about health care reform, cost containment, and coverage expansion.
