YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhile we wait for vaccines to stem the tide of the Covid onslaught, Clay brings on author and health care expert Jonathan Cohn () to take a look at the state of healthcare in our country. Why aren’t all of us covered in the pandemic era? And isn’t there an incentive for business to turn over employee coverage to the government? The devil is in the details, but many recent plans have the potential to take us past the goal line of universal coveragesomething that could have saved thousands of lives during COVID. Will the current Congress and President Biden make any bold moves to get us to it? Or must we wait for legislators to overcome their historic inertia (not to mention interest groups) and deliver change that could benefit all Americans for decades to come?
