More than 50 second-year medical students came to the Edmondson Faculty Center at the Keck School of Medicine of USC on Oct. 17 to hear Kim Belshe, one of the five board members for the California Covered health benefit exchange, and Professor Michael L. Cousineau discuss the public policy ramifications of the new health benefit exchanges that are central to the Affordable Care Act.

Pictured here in their informal discussion are Michael L. Cousineau, DrPH, professor of family medicine and preventive medicine, Keck School of Medicine and the USC Price School of Public Policy, (left) and Kim Belshe, senior policy advisor, Public Policy Institute of California.
