Add to calendar

Join in the healthcare conversation on SIRIUSXM Channel 111 - the Wharton business channel! A panel of experts will discuss Medicare at 50.

Due to last-minute unforeseen circumstances, today’s show has been canceled.  A replay of a previous show,Delighting the Beneficiary: How Health Insurers Are Becoming B2C Companies, will be broadcast instead.  We apologize for any inconvenience.



We have a great opportunity to spread the word via national radio on the great things being done in the healthcare field by Wharton HCM alumni and by our program. That is where you come in. For those WHCMAA dues paying members, we are offering the opportunity for you to join in the conversation on live national radio to discuss various healthcare topics.  Although in a one-hour show the call-in parts will be limited, we want those parts to be strong and substantive; so we’re lining up WHCMAA audience members (i.e. you) who can add value to various healthcare topics. 

Our next radio session, Medicare at 50, will be Tuesday, December 15th from 12:00pm to 1:00pm EDT.  

Click here to register. Open only to current dues-paying members of WHCMAA.  Available to 50 participants.

The user name and password for access to this session will be emailed to all participants on Monday, December 14th. 

Panelists: 
  • Paul Ginsburg is Norman Topping Chair in Medicine and Public Policy at the University of Southern California, and Director of Public Policy at the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics. Until the end of 2013, he was President of the Center for Studying Health System Change (HSC), which he founded in 1995.
  • Cybele Bjorklund is Distinguished Visitor at the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University’s Law Center, and a Senior Fellow at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy.

These sessions are free of charge to WHCMAA dues paying members and will permit a listener to listen in through their computer for these nationally broadcast one hour time slots.  It will also provide listeners to call in during these sessions to provide their perspectives.   These sessions will also be replayed 3 more times during the week on SIRIUS Channel 111.    It is a great way to join in the conversation!

Replay schedule:
Friday, December 18th at 9:00 am EDT
Saturday, December 19th at 4:00 pm EDT
Sunday, December 20th at 9:00 pm EDT

Note: If we become oversubscribed to this offer, our goal will be to extend the one hour radio segment to 2 hours (to ensure your voice is heard).  Lastly, if you have an idea for a panel discussion or would like to be a panelist for a session, please email Jeff Voigt at [email protected].   Again, this is open only to dues paying members.
