Every couple of months, Hope Street Group hosts a dinner and invites some of the most influential stakeholders in health care reform to break bread, discuss the issues, and build consensus. The dinners are intimate, closed-door, policy discussions focused on problem solving and finding common ground.
Tomorrow we’ll be hosting our sixth Bipartisan Working Group Dinner on Health Care and we’re opening up an opportunity to all of our Policy 2.0 members to post a question that our Executive Director, Monique Nadeau will pose to the group. You can check back after the dinner to see which questions we picked and the corresponding responses (sorta like a high-tech version of Telephone).
To get a taste of who your question will go to, heres a peek at our participant list:
Byron Auguste | Director, McKinsey & Company; Chairman, Hope Street Group

I’m sure you’re thinking, how do I get invited to one of these? Well, right now there isn’t much you can do, however we do invite top Policy 2.0 members to join these dinners from time to time, so get cracking on a question! Here are some examples to get you started:
- Does current legislation do enough to cut costs?
- What are important policy issues being left out of legislation that need to be addressed?
- How do we attract more practitioners to primary care? Do you agree with the methods outlined in current legislation to do that?
You can reference the Dinner Agenda and some of the pre-reading materials to help you brain storm.
