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. Over the past two years, the dinners have provided a safe-space to develop actionable solutions for health care reform. These recommendations formed our Health Care Agenda for an Opportunity Economy.  Moving forward we are working to ensure that Americans have access to the quality health serves they need most with the launch of our project: Policy 2.0: Using Open Innovation to Reinvent Primary Care.

On May 3, 2010 we will be hosting our first Bipartisan Working Group Dinner on Reinventing Primary Care. This dinner will be a “roll-your-sleeves-up” type session that brings to bear the tremendous knowledge base of our advisers to problem solve with project team leaders and devise credible paths of implementation for the Reinventing Primary Care Project.

We have already confirmed an extraordinary group of participants including:

Byron Auguste | Director, McKinsey & Company; Chairman, Hope Street Group
Dr. Sree Chaguturu | Attending Physician and Clinical Instructor, Harvard Medical School / Massachusetts General Hospital; Senior Associate, McKinsey & Company
Dr. Jeff Harris | Former President, American College of Physicians
Dr. Bob Kocher | Special Assistant to the President, National Economic Council
Peter Lee | Executive Director, National Health Policy Pacific Business Group on Health
Monique Nadeau | Executive Director, Hope Street Group
John Podesta | CEO, Center for American Progress
Dennis Rivera | Chairman, SEIU HealthCare
Diane Rowland, ScD | Executive Vice President, Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation; Chair, MACPAC
Andy Slavitt | CEO, Ingenix        
Simon Stevens | Executive Vice President, UnitedHealth Group
Dr. Kate Tulenko | Deputy Director, CapacityPlus (USAID)
David Walker | President and CEO, Peter Peterson Foundation

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.  With that in mind, what would you ask a major player in health care reform about Primary Care?

You post, we'll ask, and then repost the responses.

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:

- What are important primary care issues that have been 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 legislation to do that?
