ATS 2020 Advance Program

specific harms associated with dual use of ENDS and combustible tobacco; • describe current epidemiology of e-cigarette use and understand current national and international policy and future directions. Combustible tobacco is rapidly being replaced by novel delivery systems including electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) and heat-not-burn devices, which carry their own risks and potential benefits. This session will examine the rapidly evolving landscape of ENDS from a micro to macro level, examining basic, translational, and epidemiologic evidence for harm and placing this in the context of regulatory science and policy in the U.S. and abroad. It will address relevant information for clinicians, researchers, and policy-makers. Chairing: A.C. Melzer, MD, MS, Minneapolis, MN L.E. Crotty Alexander, MD, ATSF, SanDiego, CA D.J.

Assembly on Behavioral and Health Services Research; Health Policy Committee 8:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. Target Audience This session would benefit any clinician, scientist, or academician by providing an evidence-based, values-driven assessment of important federal legislation designed to improve access, cost, and quality of care. Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • describe evidence-based principles to effect meaningful and equitable reform of the U.S. health care system; • differentiate between the major Medicare-for-All proposals and summarize the major features of each; • predict the impact of various Medicare-for-All proposals and rank the proposals on dimensions most important to them and their patients. In advance of the 2020 presidential election, numerous federal legislative proposals characterized as Medicare-for-All have been introduced in the House of Representatives or Senate. The major health reforms intend to improve the equity, efficiency, and quality of the U.S. health care system by modifying or expanding existing government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act. This session will review the rationale underlying the need for continuing health reform, will compare and contrast the most prominent proposals, and will critique their likely impact on the desired outcomes.
