The Health Care Conversation We Should Be Having
Setup
Join Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell and Kai Ryssdal, host of “Marketplace,” for a conversation about where health care goes from here. While the public debate is still to repeal or not to repeal, the fact is that the Affordable Care Act is part of the lives of millions of Americans, whose health care security depends on it. The key questions we are now facing are: How do we strengthen and improve upon it, and how can we take America’s health care system into the future? Underwritten by Consumer Reports
