Today, we examine the status and prospects for health care reform in this election year as the Affordable Care Act is implemented across the country, and some states are implementing it with enthusiasm and efficiency, while other states, thanks to the Supreme Courts decision, are refusing to expand Medicaid, thus denying millions of poor residents of their states health care coverage at no expense to the state. We are broadcasting from the Families USA Health Care Forum on Capitol Hill where advocates of health care reform and activists across the country are engaged in trying to bring health care reform to their states. |
