##### Featuring 

Featuring **David A. Hyman**, Professor of Law and Medicine, University of Illinois and **Edmund F. Haislmaier**, Senior Research Fellow in Health Policy Studies, Heritage Foundation. Moderated by **Michael F. Cannon**, Director of Health Policy Studies, Cato Institute. 

The Massachusetts health care reforms signed into law in 2006 by then-governor Mitt Romney have become a point of contention among free-market advocates and in the Republican presidential campaign. Please join us for a discussion of these reforms. David Hyman will present a new Cato Institute study, “The Massachusetts Health Plan: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” with comments by Ed Haislmaier, one of the chief architects of the Massachusetts health plan.
