Alice Rivlin, senior fellow in Economic Studies and the Center for Health Policy, addresses the claim that the Affordable Care Act is “collapsing,” and provides her expert analysis on what actions the new administration and Congress should take on health care policy.
Also in this episode, Jonathan Sallet, visiting fellow in Governance Studies, discusses why he became a scholar after serving in government on our Coffee Break segment. He explains why the idea of “truth” is most critical to preserving democracy, and why he considers it a pressing issue of our time.
