Ethical Pricing Decision in Healthcare 8:30AM - 3:00PM | S4-5
McGeorge School of Law presents a special symposium on Ethical Pricing
Decisions in Healthcare on Friday, September 25 in Seminar Rooms 4&5.
The Affordable Care Act was focused primarily upon expanding access to
health care by extending insurance coverage to the uninsured. That
coverage was made more affordable by creating more competitive
insurance markets and by significantly expanding government subsidies.
However, the Act did little to address the underlying costs of health care.
This symposium will shine a spotlight on how pricing decisions are made in
the healthcare industry, the changing market conditions that influence
pricing decisions, and whether those decisions can be made more
equitably and ethically. The focus will be particularly upon pricing decisions
for hospital services and for pharmaceuticals. SEATING IS LIMITED:
RSVP today to [email protected] or 916.739.7138.
Conviction Review Symposium On Friday, September 25th, Northern California Innocence Project is
hosting a free symposium on conviction review. They have prosecutors

and Lake County, IL; as well as from California counties. The event is
being held on the beautiful Santa Clara University campus, with easy
access by train, car or plane.For more information and to register for the
