REGINALD BULLOCK JR., SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE NUHEALTH SYSTEM TO SPEAK AT A COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESENTATION ON “HEALTH CARE REFORM: WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?”
East Meadow, NY…Reginald Bullock Jr., senior vice president and general counsel of the NuHealth System, will speak at a conference “Health Care Reform: What is it all about?”, presented by Crossroads Cultural Center and Columbia Catholic Ministry on October 13, 2010 at 7 p.m. at Columbia University, Philosophy Hall room 301. Along with Mr. Bullock, the distinguished panel of speakers includes, Dr. Alan Astrow, director of medical oncology at Maimonides Cancer Center and Stephen Lynch, former president of Health Plans for Health Net, Inc. All three speakers will help to better understand what practical consequences we should expect from the new health care law and its implementation.
According to the Crossroads Cultural Center and the Columbia Catholic Ministry, to a large extent, the debate on health care reform has been shaped by “experts,” both from the academic world and from various think-tanks and professional associations. The idea behind this discussion is to ask a group of experienced professionals whose work is related to health care how the new law will concretely impact their work, and the health care system as they know it in their field of action. Participants can listen to those who will deal every day with the effects of the reform, as the best to way to learn what they should realistically expect.
