Show Notes
A federal judge has struck down a provision in the Affordable Care Act requiring private insurers to provide preventive care—screenings and the like—at no cost to patients.
But preventive care is a good investment for insurance companies and for national health. It’s something Americans already don’t get enough of — but is anyone willing to step in and save it?
Guest: Julie Rovner, chief Washington correspondent Kaiser Health News, host of the “What the Health” podcast
