As health care systems evolve and reinvent themselves, three key questions arise: How much care should we deliver? How much will it cost? and Who pays for it? The US health care system has been undergoing substantial change, and there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the system today. In this seminar, Anna Rappaport will take an actuarial perspective and look at lessons learned that might help us in thinking through these three questions. She will also look at the role of actuaries as part of a multi-disciplinary group thinking about health care.

Anna Rappaport is a worldwide partner of Mercer Human Resources Consulting and a past-president of the Society of Actuaries. She has been an actuary and futurist for more than forty years. In recent years, she has focused on strategic benefit planning as well as pension and retiree health care plan management. She was selected as a delegate to the U.S. Government's 1998 and 2002 National Summit on Retirement Savings.

Anna is Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and has a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago. She has been very active within the benefits community and the actuarial profession.
