Each year since 1999, key members of Congress and other policy experts have met for three days in January under the auspices of the Fund and Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government to discuss emerging issues in health care policy. These retreats provide an opportunity for lawmakers to spend time away from their day-to-day demands so they can openly discuss health policy issues in a private setting, obtain high-quality information and analysis on multiple facets of an issue, and enhance their ability to make the value and political judgments that lie ahead. In 2005, the sessions will most likely focus on topics related to Medicare, the uninsured, quality of care, and international health policy.
