Healthcare Triage

Premium Support, Medicare, and Obamacare (2017x28)

Date de diffusion: Mar 27, 2017

A number of Republican health care policy proposals that seemed out of favor in the Obama era are now being given new life. One of these involves Medicare, the government health insurance program primarily for older Americans, and is known as premium support. Premium support enjoys support from both sides of the aisle, depending on the context. That's topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column Austin and Aaron wrote for the Upshot.
