Next Wednesday, September 19th, the America's Future Foundation(AFF) will present a roundtable discussion on health care. Conservatives tend to get tongue-tied when discussing health care policy. Other than opposition to "HillaryCare," there isn't much agreement on a conservative response to America's health care problems. For example, some say we should focus on insuring the uninsured, while others believe that many of the uninsured are that way only temporarily or by choice. A series of different free-market plans have been proposed, ranging from Association Health Plans to health care tax credits. Should we advocate incremental steps or a bold change? Maybe reform won't be driven by Washington but will come from the states. Are Massachusetts-style health insurance exchanges a model for the nation or the latest example of phony, big-government conservatism?

Joining AFF to discuss these issues are Michael Cannon of the Cato Institute, Greg D'Angelo of the Heritage Foundation, and Christie Raniszewski Herrera of the American Legislative Exchange Council. David Barnes of the Heritage Foundation will moderate. The event will take place at the Fund for American Studies, 1706 New Hampshire Avenue, NW, near Dupont Circle. Drinks at 6:30; Roundtable begins at 7:00. Roundtables are free for members, $5 for non-members. Please RSVP to Kathleen O'Hearn at kathleen@americasfuture.org.
