The Impact of Rising Health Care Costs on Economic Well-Being

How do our national health care policies affect Americans’ economic well-being? Please join the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and a bi-partisan group of health policy experts to discuss how existing health care policies affect earnings, labor force participation, economic growth and other measures of economic well-being. 

Panels of academic and policy experts will discuss:

• The effects of health care policy on earnings and economic growth
• The link between rising health care costs and measured income inequality in America
• Options to mitigate the economically adverse effects of specific health policies, as well as the much larger task of slowing the overall growth of health care costs
