Read event recap here.

The COVID-19 pandemic has added urgency to the debate on health care reform as nearly 27 million Americans have lost employer-based coverage and COVID cases continue to surge. The need for affordable and accessible care is now greater than ever. Our panel of experts discussed the political landscape and potential path forward for health care reform leading up to the presidential and congressional elections, including the role of health equity, how COVID-19 has shaped our reform goals, and the political and practical feasibility of various reform proposals.
