Health care law is topic of conference
The Solomon Center for Health Law and Policy at Yale Law School, a new center focusing on the governance, business, and practice of health care in the United States, launches in November with a conference, The New Health Care Industry: Integration, Consolidation, Competition in the Wake of the Affordable Care Act. The conference, cosponsored by the Yale School of Management, will bring together voices from the health-care industry, government, and academia to evaluate the legal, economic, and medical effects of consolidation, and to examine the question of how the Affordable Care Act has contributed to these developments, with its encouragement of health-care integration and “accountable care.” Kathleen Sebelius, former secretary of Health and Human Services, will give a keynote. The Solomon Center will devote new academic and legal-professional discipline to the rapidly evolving environment of health care and its centrality in the nation’s economy and government.
