This week, Boston is all prepared and bubbling to hold a major health-care reform conference.

As the nation is getting ready for the US Senate to agree upon a final draft of the bill, so that it can be put into effect, over a hundred health-care professionals will be meeting in Boston later during the week, for a large-scale discussion on how to effectively expand health-insurance coverage across the country.

Entitled “How to Organize Exchanges and Other Lessons Learned”, the conference will be hosted jointly by the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s State Coverage Initiative.

It is being expected that the conference would attract lawmakers, policy-makers and Government-agency officials from as many as 42 states, in addition to the District of Columbia. The meeting is termed as a "technical, practical" review of "Massachusetts developed and implemented its universal health-care system".

Estimates are that about 300 people would be a part of the conference on Thursday, and another 175 would be attracted on Friday.

What has made the time of the conference more interesting is that tomorrow will be the day when it will be decided whether or not would Republican candidate Scott Brown win the special U. S. Senate election in Massachusetts, an outcome that could change a lot many aspects of the new health-care bill.
