Paying for Health Care–National Issues Forum Issue Advisory
Excellent Care But Rising Costs: Is There a Better Balance?
A new issue book in the NIF series will be available later this spring for forums on the hard choices in health care. The book will look at some of the major concerns people have when they encounter the increasing costs of drugs, doctor fees, hospital visits, and insurance premiums. It will also look at some of the possible remedies being proposed to combat these costs. The purpose of the book is to stimulate serious public deliberation, not a discussion or debate. So each option for controlling costs will be balanced by an account of unwelcome consequences that might result.Attached is an Issue Advisory from the Kettering Foundation about the framework for this deliberative dialogue. For more information, visit the NIFI website at: www.nifi.org.

Dear Nancy,
Sorry if this is off the topic.
I work for NOW on PBS and am looking for some specific civic engagement websites and I thought you might be able to help.
Is there a way for me to contact you? thank you, Karin

Karin,
Take a look at the links on the right hand side of this blog. I recently sent them to John Siceloff as well. You can also contact me directly at nancy.kranich@nyu.edu. Thanks.
Best,
