It’s Decision Time.

The decisions that will shape our nation’s health care are near. The Supreme Court Decision. The Presidential election. Implementation decisions within health plans that are shaping the delivery of care.

Institute 2012, June 20-22 in Salt Lake City, will address these factors head on. There’s not a better place to learn firsthand how these decisions will affect your organization’s efforts immediately, tomorrow, and beyond.

Just added to the agenda, AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni will open the general sessions on Thursday morning with a presentation on the upcoming Supreme Court ruling. She will highlight what happened in states that experimented with insurance market reforms in the 1990s without requiring everyone to purchase coverage and the lessons that can be learned from these experiences.

You'll find equally powerful general session presentations throughout the conference, including:
