Washington Week with The Atlantic

Health care policy, politics and consequences

Season 2017 Episode 53 | 24m 19s

What is the state of health care in America? The Affordable Care Act has been law for seven years, but with 22 million people still uninsured and costs rising, how should lawmakers revise the health care system? We discuss the current health care situation and the plan being considered by Republicans in the Senate.

Aired: 06/30/17
