I just got confirmation that Aetna Inc. president Mark Bertolini will be the morning keynote speaker at our June 28, 2010 conference on How Health Plans Can Survive Reform. I’m very excited to have Mark join the program. Aetna is a company that is well-positioned to succeed in a post-reform world. The company’s leadership has stressed four key areas: 1. Products and services that improve quality and control costs; 2. Convenient tools and easy-to-understand information to help members make better-informed healthcare decisions; 3. Transparency; 4. New wellness and prevention programs.
Also speaking at the event is Carl McDonald, equity analyst of Oppenheimer. Carl is one of the industry’s top analysts, and he’s done some great work modeling the likely impact of healthcare reform on health plan profits and competitiveness — including the implications of healthcare exchanges, individual and small group insurance reforms, minimum medical cost ratios, expanded Medicaid eligibility, cuts to Medicare Advantage payments, and new industry taxes.
I’ll keep you posted on other speakers as they come on board.
