What the Midterm Results Mean For Healthcare

Episode Description

Send us Fan Mail

Voters just handed Democrats both houses of Congress. They protected Medicaid, the ACA, and abortion rights where they already had them. But did they vote for anything new? And is “affordability” a plan, or just a slogan?

Hosts David E. Williams, President, Health Business Group, and John Driscoll, Chairman, UConn Health, dig into the real constraints facing a Democratic Congress on healthcare, where there’s genuine bipartisan room to move, and why three straight elections centered on affordability still haven’t produced a solution.
