Healthcare committee

At the January 10, 2013 Healthcare Committee meeting, we will be discussing potential agenda and speaker suggestions for the November 1, 2013 Chamber Healthcare Summit. Healthcare committee members will also be able to volunteer to be on the planning committee for the Summit, which will be a half-day dedicated to information about healthcare issues that affect business.

In addition, we will be gathering questions for February’s guest speaker, Insurance Commissioner Jim Riesberg, with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Insurance.

Commissioner Riesberg was originally scheduled to speak in December 2012, but was unable to attend. Lorez Meinhold, Policy Director, Health, Human Services, Education and Economic Development at State of Colorado,stepped in to present at the meeting and was able to answer many questions about the ACA and the Colorado Exchange, but since the Commissioner has offered to present in February, we would like to let him know what kind of questions the committee has for him.
