“In this election year, voters, candidates, and the media are increasingly focused on the issue of healthcare and the uninsured – and rightfully so,” said Marianne Udow-Phillips, CHRT’s director. “We know the public is very concerned about access to health care but when it comes to specifics, it can be hard to find common ground.” On May 2, CHRT hosted panelists to explore these issues, including Catherine McLaughlin, professor of health management and policy at the U-M School of Public Health; Kevin Seitz, executive vice president of health care value enhancement at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan; and Ellen Rabinowitz, executive director of the Washtenaw Health Plan. Tracy Davis of the Ann Arbor News moderated the panel.
