Event Description:

The Democratic Presidential debates have surfaced two very different
visions for the future of national insurance in the U.S. One is
building on the Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 by adding major
changes, including allowing individuals to voluntarily purchase
Medicare or another public option plan. The other is to enact a new,
all-governmental health insurance program — Medicare for All. What are
the issues and implications for the U.S. of choosing either of these
two paths? The Forum will examine this critical question. As
background, The Forum will draw on results from a recent poll from The
Commonwealth Fund, The New York Times, and the Harvard T.H. Chan
School of Public Health. National experts will examine the practical,
economic and political challenges of health insurance proposals in
2020 and potential impacts on health care for millions of Americans.
