Political Point, Counterpoint
Rove is often paired with a leading Democrat (say Jim Messina, Robert Gibbs or Bill Daley, also HWA exclusives) for what is often too rare today – a civilized, polite conversation about the nation’s condition, differences between Republicans and Democrats over big public policy issues, the state of both parties, and the way forward for our country.
"Thank you for helping us make the TriZetto Executive Vision Summit a truly engaging and dynamic forum for healthcare executives. Your point-counterpoint discussion with Robert Gibbs was one of the highest-rated presentations of the summit. It truly energized the attendees, giving them much to think about and much to discuss." - The TriZetto Group
Making Your Industry’s Voice Heard

We appreciate your also taking the time to greet and speak with so many of the meeting attendees." - Edison Electric Institute
Healthcare in the United States
Karl Rove shows how less government meddling and more competition and markets can result in better health care for all Americans. From access to quality insurance to drug prices to hospital consolidations and more, Rove outlines health care reform that puts patients and their health care providers in charge, not government and bureaucrats.
