RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, announced that Bruce Caswell, President and General Manager of Health Services, will be a featured panelist at a Brookings Institution forum on the organizational challenges of implementing the Affordable Care Act.
The event, hosted by the Management and Leadership Initiative at Brookings, will bring together a panel of experts to discuss the organizational challenges of implementing the Affordable Care Act including building the state exchanges and, for selected states, expanding Medicaid.
