June 21, 2017 – When it comes to determining the future of health care, employment, and the areas where they intersect, all of the predictions and opinions being tossed around can seem confusing and even conflicting.
Tommy G. Thompson, the former Health and Human Services secretary and four-term governor of Wisconsin, will give his unique experience and perspective to help bring health care and employment issues into focus for attorneys at the this year’s Health, Labor, and Employment Law Institute, Aug. 17-18, at Glacier Canyon Lodge at the Wilderness in Wisconsin Dells.
Governor Tommy Thompson speaks at the 50-year member reunion in May 2016 in Delafield.
Thompson, the speaker at the optional luncheon at the Institute, will share observations on proposed sweeping changes to health care in the U.S., and discuss the role of attorneys in helping employers and health care entities manage new reforms in the face of rapid changes and political controversy.
