Now that the Supreme Court has finally ruled on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, billions of federal dollars for improving the nation’s health care system are up for grabs.

Join CD Publications for an audio conference titled, “Tapping New Healthcare Funding Opportunities Following the Supreme Court Ruling.” This 75-minute, information-packed event will answer a host of lingering questions, such as …

• What does the Court’s June 28 decision mean for discretionary grant opportunities through the Prevention and Public Health Fund, Indian Health Improvement Act, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services?
• How do the Act’s Medicaid provisions affect states? Will states reduce healthcare spending or will the federal government offer incentives to boost support?
• Does the Court’s ruling resolve all of the controversy? What happens if Congressional appropriators try to “defund” ACA programs and staff?
• What can we expect to happen after the election? What would an Obama re-election or Romney win mean to health reform funding?

We’ll also tackle important questions lingering in the wake of last year’s passage of the deficit reducing Budget Control Act of 2011, which calls for deep cuts in nearly all discretionary programs beginning January 1, 2013. Will Congress take steps to avoid the mandated spending reductions? And if not, how will healthcare funding be affected?

Your presenter for this event is David Kittross, editor of Community Health Funding Report, and a Congressionally credentialed member of the Washington press corps. With more than 20 years of experience covering and reporting on the federal government, Mr. Kittross is particularly well positioned to provide you with an “insider’s prospective” on federal funding and the U.S. healthcare reform initiative.
