Topic: Engaging in Implementation of the Health Care Law at the State Level. We’ll continue our conversation about implementing the new health care law at the state level. Advocates from around the country will join us to share and discuss what their states are doing to implement the new health care law, and how they are working in their states to ensure that the new law meets the needs of women and their families. We’ll also hear from a consumer advocate who is part of the process convened by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) – who are taking a very important role in implementing the new law. Be sure to join us!
