Special Conference Reflects on the 50th Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid

Leading health law experts and policymakers gathered in New Haven on November 6 and 7 for a unique conference reflecting on the 50th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid at Yale Law School.

The Law of Medicare and Medicaid at 50 (https://t.e2ma.net/click/gc19g/sht8ai/sx9blc) examined the intersection of law and politics across the two landmark statutes and how these laws changed the legal frameworks, political dynamics, and governmental structures of health in this country.

The first two panels explored the historical context of Medicare and Medicaid, with panelists discussing the commonalities in health policy debates today compared with what they were 50 years ago. The discussion found that there are continuing debates about cost and fiscal viability, national health coverage versus efficacy and importance of market forces and competition, and the role and influence of election outcomes on health policy.
