Former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Presents Healthcare Reform Briefing
Tommy Thompson, former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will present a healthcare reform briefing on Mon., Nov. 16, 2009 at 4 p.m. in the Gordon E. Inman Center at Belmont University.
Thompson, who served in the administration of President George W. Bush from 2001 until early 2005 after four terms as Governor of Wisconsin, will focus his remarks on how reform will impact providers, payers and individuals.
“As a country, we are closer than we have ever been to a major overhaul of the healthcare system, but there are still many questions surrounding the final legislation and its implementation,” remarked Thompson.
Stuart McWhorter, co-founder of Medical Reimbursements of America, the primary organizer of the briefing, said, “Tommy Thompson brings a unique insider perspective to the healthcare debate. He played an instrumental role in the passage and implementation of Medicare Part D, one of the most recent major expansions of healthcare coverage.”
Other sponsors of the briefing, in addition to Medical Reimbursements of America, include the Nashville Health Care Council, Clayton Associates and the Gordon E. Inman College of Health Sciences and Nursing at Belmont University. The event is part of the University’s Diagnosing Our Future Speaker Series.
The event is open to the public, but seating is limited and an RSVP is required. To RSVP, go to www.belmont.edu and follow the link to the Diagnosing Our Future Speaker Series.
