Zócalo Public Square

At a Zócalo/Health Futures Council at Arizona State University event moderated by Wall Street Journal reporter Anna Wilde Mathews, four panelists tackled this daunting topic: ASU economist Marjorie Baldwin, CEO of Arizona Integrated Physicians Keith Dines, executive director of Long-Term Quality Alliance Lawrence Atkins, and CEO of the National Coalition on Health Care John Rother.
