The Role of Consumers in Managed Health Care to be Discussed at Princeton

Princeton, N.J.--John Rother, director of the Legislation and Public Policy Division of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) will speak on "Where Goes Managed Care? And What Role for Consumers?" at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 4:30 p.m. in Robertson Hall, Bowl 5.

In his position at AARP, Rother is responsible for the federal and state legislative advocacy activities of the association, and for the policy research and public education programs that support those efforts. Before joining AARP, Rother spent eight years in the U.S. Senate as special counsel for labor and health to former Senator Jacob Javits, and as staff director and chief counsel for the Special Committee on Aging, under its chairman, Senator John Heinz.

His lecture is being sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School, the Center for Health Care Strategies, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
