2015 Legislative Preview: Key Health Care Issues

Event Description

Deadline to Register: Tuesday, January 13, 2015

The 2015 legislative session will feature a new division of power, as Governor Dayton and the DFL-controlled Senate will square off against a freshly minted Republican majority in the House.  The session promises to be interesting, as legislators will need to tackle budgeting, but will do so in the context of a surplus in the amount of $1.037 billion over 2015-16.  Meanwhile, divisive and complex health care issues are likely to have a prominent role when the legislature reconvenes in January.  Issues likely to come up include modifications to provider reimbursement rates, changes to MNSure and the Medical Assistance program, funding for MinnesotaCare and a host of issues in the area of licensure and scope of practice.

This CLE discussion will help you stay abreast of and respond knowledgeably to developments as they occur during the session.  Please join your Health Law Section colleagues for our annual discussion of state health care related issues in the upcoming legislative session.

Please join us for breakfast beginning at 7:30 a.m., followed by the program from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m.  Special meal requests need to be received no later than Tuesday, January 13.

Barbara Cox, HealthPartners, Director of Government Relations
