LAW DAY, May 1

 

featured speaker…

Looking for a speaker for your next meeting or conference? One who is informative and entertaining at the same time? Jeanne Scott, one of Washington DC’s leading health care policy analysts and lobbyists, is a veteran of more than 550 such presentations and brings the latest in “inside-the-beltway” analysis and insight, touched with her humor and anecdotes, all for probably a lot less than you might expect. For dates, fees and other information, contact Jeanne directly. jeanne.scott@health-politics.com

 

what some of her listeners have had to say…

"Thanks for speaking at the ... annual meeting earlier this week... I had heard of you (and your newsletter), but  had never actually heard you speak, and I thoroughly enjoyed your remarks. Very informative, as well as entertaining."

"I heard you speak in January ...  It was great. I'd like to receive your newsletter to stay on the cutting edge of issues. There are several things you spoke about that I am just now in June hearing through the media. I'd rather hear it first hand in a timely fashion."

"I enjoyed your presentation (and irreverent humor) at the conference in Memphis." (and from another attendee at that same meeting) "Got to see you at Memphis a couple of weeks ago, you are Great !"

"I very much enjoyed your presentation last week at the________.  Your information was valuable and presentation style fun."

I listened to you speak in ... Wisconsin. You were awesome, and I can only imagine I'm not the first person to tell you that!

And two of my all time favorites and perhaps the most meaningful compliment I've ever received:

From a waiter working a recent luncheon where I was the speaker:

"I've worked this hotel for almost 20 years, that was the best presentation I've ever heard. All of the waiters were listening."

And from a listener who should remain anonymous:

"The Friday that I heard you speak in [location deleted], I drove on to [more locations deleted] to visit my mom for the weekend. Your presentation was fresh in my head that evening when my mom and I went to a little bar close to her house for some drinks.  Needless to say, we stayed rather late and had several drinks.  We got to talking to some people at the bar and somehow the conversation turned to healthcare.  A silly little man at the bar actually had the nerve to tell me that the United States has the best healthcare system in the world!  Between the several drinks I had, and the facts from your presentation still buzzing in my head, I proceeded to set him straight....rather loudly and passionately.  Unfortunately, my mom does not feel she can go back to that bar anytime soon. I've worked in healthcare for awhile now and I feel passionate about the industry.  Hearing you speak ignites my interest even further and having facts to back up my arguments is like a gift.  However, you may need to add yet another disclaimer to your presentation.  Something like.......a passion for healthcare combined with a Jeanne Scott presentation should NOT be mixed with alcohol."

she is currently speaking on these and other topics...

Health Care Issues Up the Wahzoo
    We have a laundry list of issues facing the US health care industry, from 47.6 million uninsured, another 60 million "underinsured" with unmanageable deductibles and co-pays that have made health care bills the number one cause of personal bankruptcies, to 25 million "baby-boomers" about to start flooding the Medicare program; from double-digit increases in health care costs to bioterrorism -- and everything in between. What to do, what to do. Come and see what is happening and what you may be able to do about it.
 
HIP-HIP-Hooray!  HIPAA, phases 2, 3, and 4 or More
    Think you had just about enough of HIPAA? Well think again. HIPAA phases 2, 3 and 4 are already under way. New deadlines for 2007 are already law and more is coming.  Jeanne Scott wrote the first piece of HIPAA-legislation in 1989 and she has been called the "grandmother of HIPAA."  She'll be glad to tell you about what's coming next.
 
110th Congress: What Can We Expect?
    Wow! The Democrats have full control in the House and at least a share in the Senate (depending on the day of the week with Joe Lieberman) and President Bush's domestic agenda is in shambles.  But wait, he still controls the power of the veto and the Dems haven't a chance to muster the 60 votes needed to override a filibuster in the Senate. Does that mean hopeless deadlock? Or will we see lots of really cool "on the record" votes on issues near and dear to the electorate in anticipation of Election 2008.
 
Pharmaceuticals: Two Ways to Make a Lot of Money in this Country, Legal and Illegal Drug Dealing: Let's Try to Stay Legal
    What's does the future portend for the US pharmaceutical industry?  Price controls and regulations yes, but what about other things that are on the drawing board.  How to stay one step ahead of the law.

Reform U.S. Health Care ... Or Else                                                                                          A "fire and brimstone" "bring 'em back to the Lord" (Jeanne's husband is a minister, in case you were wondering) presentation laying out the options for "saving" American health care from the impending tsunami of debt, uninsured, and the 2008 Presidential elections ... or can it be "saved" at all? Will "consumer-driven health care" (CDHC) coupled with very high tax-exempt deductible (HSA) plans as proposed by President Bush save the day? What are the alternatives under consideration? What are their prospects?

It's Health Care Stupid!
    Elections 2008! What can we expect? What are the candidates and parties saying they will do? If as expected by most experts, the Democrats expand their control over Congress in the 111th Congress that starts in 2009, and maybe even take over the presidency as well -- is socialized medicine the inevitable next step? Are we merely spinning our wheels waiting for many policy experts now feel is the inevitable collapse of the U.S. health care system? Jeanne Scott frames the issues and gets you started on finding the solutions.
 

...and... well, let's just face it, Jeanne will speak on just about any topic you want her to speak on...
