This conference is a unique opportunity to explore all sides of a very
complicated issue. Please join our keynote speaker, Wendell Potter, a
Senior Fellow on Health Care at the Center for Media and Democracy.

 

In addition, our panel of New York State officials will respond to Mr.
Potter's keynote and offer their perspective of how the sector can
survive transformation and continue services to all consumers:


Troy J. Oeschner, Deputy Superintendent for Health, State of New York
Insurance Department; 
Gregory Allen, Director, Division of Financial Planning and Policy, New
York State Department of Health; 

Bruce E. Feig, Deputy Executive Commissioner, New York State Office of
Mental Health.

Our afternoon presentations will include:

 

A provider panel consisting of the Institute for Community Living, the
Puerto Rican Family Institute, and Staten Island Mental Health Society
who will talk about their experiences with managed care plans. 

 

A panel of Managed Care Organizations, including Emblem Health,
ValueOptions, Amerigroup, and OptumHealth Behavioral Solutions (invited)
will have an opportunity to respond and lay out their own vision.  

 

In addition, Senator Neil D. Breslin, Insurance Committee Chair, and
Assemblyman Joseph D. Morelle, Chair, Committee on Insurance have also
been invited. 

When all affected parties are at the table, together we might find
solutions acceptable to all participants.

Wendell Potter is a Senior Fellow on Health Care at the Center for Media
and Democracy, who after a 20-year career as a corporate public
relations executive, left his job as head of communications for one of
the nation's largest health insurers to try his hand at helping socially
responsible organizations -- including those advocating for meaningful
health care reform -- to achieve their goals.
