Key Failures of the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare an Obstacle to Universal Health Care
by our friends at This Is Hell Radio
Trudy Lieberman: “We are replacing a crisis of un-insurance with a crisis of under-insurance, and we’re going to find people with very high deductables and very high cost-sharing as the years go on, because we haven’t controlled the underlying cost of care.”
Journalist Trudy Lieberman breaks down the key failures of the Affordable Care Act – from a failure to control healthcare costs to serious gaps in coverage and funding – and explains why Obamacare is an obstacle, not a starting point, for universal healthcare.
Trudy wrote the Harper’s report on Obamacare, Wrong Prescription?
