Looking back & looking forward on health care reform
The health care reform debate provided a year of intense drama, but now the fun part really begins. Over the course of the next four years, pieces of the health care legislation will roll out, from the prevention of insurance companies dropping patients with preexisting conditions to the broad insurance mandate, and yet it might be another generation until the full effects of health care reform are truly known. Will Republicans attempt to roll back elements of the reform, or will additional follow-up measures be needed to further improve the system? Will any of these steps actually bring down the inflated cost of delivering medical services? With one of the major players in the American health care system’s pharmaceutical industry and with a dogged reporter who has closely followed the debate for the past year, Patt looks backward and forward at health care reform in

Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink: managing the world’s most precious commodity
Wars have been fought over oil, precious gems and even salt—but up until now, modern global civilization has been relatively lucky in its access to and supply of potable water. That time might be coming to an end, as the pressures of population growth, environmental degradation and the ravages of global warming have conspired to make fresh water an increasingly rare commodity in parts of the Earth. According to the World Health Organization, water scarcity affects one in three people on every continent. Lack of fresh water sources is a growing human tragedy but also is bad business, as economic growth without fresh water is impossible. How can world leaders work together to sustain global water supplies without killing each other in the process?

Stella Thomas, Founder and President of the Global Water Fund, an international organization committed to providing clean water to all people of the world

Power to the shareholders: how educating investors might make for a stronger economy
The term “corporate governance” served as a form of kryptonite for several years in Wall Street circles, as the fast-moving, risk-taking culture found in huge financial institutions played a large role in the current recession from which we are slowly recovering. As publicly owned banks and investment firms were taking risks with shareholder-generated funds, shareholders were often left in the dark. Dating back to the seemingly halcyon days of Enron, WorldCom and Tyco, the functions of corporate governance have failed too many times over the past decade. Many CEO’s weren’t accountable to their boards and shareholders had little ability to affect change. There are some emerging signs of progress as regulators exert greater influence over corporate governance reform and executive compensation arrangements. How can investors better educate themselves and how can shareholders gain a greater and stronger voice?
Guest:
Richard Ferlauto, Deputy Director of Office of Investor Education & Advocacy at the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)

The last 10 years have proven be one of the biggest periods of change the global auto industry has ever seen—the next 10 years promise to be just as revolutionary.
