Misinformation meets Dysfunction: The Politics of Healthcare Reform

Apr 2, 2017, 1:23 PM | Updated: Apr 14, 2017, 12:56 pm

 

After seven years pledging to kill “Obamacare” the Republican House fell conspicuously short of that goal last week.  It looks like healthcare will be on the political backburner for a while. Given that healthcare is about one-sixth of our entire economy, however, the surrounding issues are guaranteed to persist.

  • Chuck Coughlin is one of the sharpest political minds around.
  • Francine Hardaway is a healthcare policy guru.

Our guests discuss the current state of healthcare policy in America in the aftermath of the recent failure to repeal “Obamacare”.
