Universal Health Care: Policy and Politics

Welcome to the President’s Lecture Series, a partnership offering by Regis and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.

With the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the number of uninsured Americans dropped to a historic low in 2016. Since then, the uninsured rate has increased every year. How will Congress and the new administration respond to the challenge of expanding access to care? Will the US Supreme Court repeal the entire ACA? Is a Public Option or Medicare for All even politically possible? Can improvements in cost, quality, and access be made if Congress remains polarized? Don’t miss this opportunity to hear experts discuss the policy and politics of universal health care in 2021 and beyond!
