Federal health policy is shifting as President-Elect Donald Trump prepares to take office. Meanwhile, Oregon’s legislature prepares for what is expected to be a difficult budget session, with broad implications for the health care system.
- What role will “blue states” like Oregon have in a time of unified Republican control of Washington DC?
- How will federal health policy impact Oregon’s CCO transformation project?
- How can Oregon learn from Maryland’s “all payer” model
Two of America’s leading governors on health policy will talk through these questions. Gov. O’Malley will lead off with a presentation on lessons learned from Maryland’s “all payer” model. He will then be joined by Gov. Kitzhaber for an informal discussion on how progressive states like Oregon and Maryland might extend their models amidst a fundamental re-alignment of health policy.

Panelists:
Martin O’Malley, is former governor of Maryland and a 206 Democratic presidential candidate. When he was mayor of Baltimore, TIME Magazine named O’Malley “one of America’s top five big city mayors.” Unique in the United States, Maryland continues to use an “all-payer” hospital payment system that has reduced the rise of hospital costs.
John Kitzhaber, MD, is former governor of Oregon and an emergency room physician. He was previosuly president of the Oregon Senate and authored the Oregon Health Plan, which he helped implement as governor in 1995. In 2013 Modern Healthcare Magazine ranked Kitzhaber number two on the list of the “100 Most Influential People in Health Care;” and number one the list of the “50 Most Influential Physician Executives.”
