THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES
Advisers to the Nation on Science, Engineering, and Medicine
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council.

Prospects for Health Reform in 2009 and Beyond: 20th Anniversary Lecture
Foreword
The Institute of Medicine launched an innovative outreach program in 1988. Through the generosity of the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation, a lecture series was created to bring greater attention to some of the significant health policy issues facing our nation today. Each year a major health topic is addressed through a lecture presented by an expert in the field. The IOM later publishes this lecture for the benefit of a wider audience.
The Rosenthal Lectures have attracted an enthusiastic following among health policy researchers and decision makers in Washington, DC, and across the country. The lectures produce a dynamic and fruitful dialogue. In this volume, we are proud to present the remarks of the 2008 Rosenthal Lecturer, Julie Rovner, who spoke about “Prospects for Health Reform in 2009 and Beyond.”
I would like to thank Clyde Behney, Jody Evans, Abbey Meltzer, Autumn Rose, Marty Perreault, Sara Sairitupa, Judy Salerno, Vilija Teel, Lauren Tobias, Jackie Turner, and Ellen Urbanski for skillfully handling the many details associated with the lecture program and the publication.
In their lifetimes, Richard and Hinda Rosenthal accomplished a great deal. The Rosenthal Lectures at the Institute of Medicine are among their enduring legacies, and we are privileged to be the steward of this important ongoing series.
