Health Reform Debates
During the Obama Administration's 2009-2010 health reform initiative, Kahn, as President and CEO of the Federation of American Hospitals, worked with leaders of the American Hospital Association and the Catholic Health Association of the United States in creating a hospital industry agreement with Congressional leaders and the Administration. This agreement played a role in the passage and enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (42 USC 18001). During the Clinton Administration's 1993-1994 health reform initiative, Kahn was responsible for the Health Insurance Association of America’s "Harry and Louise" $14-$20 million advertising/public affairs campaign, which influenced the national debate about President Clinton’s healthcare proposal.

Famous quotes containing the words health, reform and/or debates:
“... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimetre nearer.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“The debates of that great assembly are frequently vague and perplexed, seeming to be dragged rather than to march, to the intended goal. Something of this sort must, I think, always happen in public democratic assemblies.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
