Healthcare Reform Town Hall Forum

What is to be done about rising healthcare costs? What about the growing numbers of Hoosiers with no or inadequate health insurance? What should be done about the uneven quality distribution of healthcare in Indiana? How can Hoosiers get higher quality healthcare for their money? What do you want and what are you willing to pay for? What should the healthcare system in Indiana look like in 2035?

A series of forums will gather information from the public that will provide the Governor, the Indiana State Legislature, and the public with data-driven and evidenced-based policy recommendations to help answer the above questions and more. Your input is vital. We need feedback from persons of diverse backgrounds throughout Indiana to assure the success of these forums. Therefore, the public is encouraged to participate. Forums will occur according to the schedule below:

Background
On March 21, 2007, Secretary Mitch Roob of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, announced that a workgroup of experts from Indiana University will study potential reforms in healthcare delivery in Indiana.
