"Bending the Health Care Cost Curve: Pathway to Real Reform"

Location

Dr. Mark McClellan, former administrator of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, and currently the director of the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at the Brookings Institution, will present a public talk at the Woodrow Wilson School titled, "Bending the Health Care Cost Curve: Pathway to Real Reform."

McClellan has a long history of public service. A doctor and economist by training, McClellan is a former administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and served as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the George W. Bush administration. He also served as a member of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers and as senior director for health care policy at the White House. During the Clinton Administration, McClellan was deputy assistant secretary for Economic Policy at the Department of the Treasury, where he supervised economic analysis and policy development on a range of domestic policy issues.

McClellan is visiting the Wilson School as part of its “Leadership and Governance Program,” which brings prominent policy makers to Princeton for a one-to-two day visit so that students can meet and learn from exemplary public leaders.
