The ACA 2019: A Look Ahead

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the future of the Affordable Care Act. In the first two years of the Trump Administration and a Republican-controlled Congress, the ACA was challenged on a variety of fronts including the tax bill. Passed just over a year ago, the bill removed the health insurance mandate leading to the recent ruling by a federal judge in Texas that the ACA was unconstitutional. A coalition of 17 Democratic State Attorneys General is appealing that ruling and the new Democrat-controlled House is looking at ways to protect the healthcare law. Host Dan Loney examines all sides of the arguments with Mark Pauly, Health Management Professor at Wharton, Eric Clemons, Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions at Wharton, and Robert Field, Professor of Law and of Health Management and Policy at Drexel University, on Knowledge@Wharton.

China 2019: A Look Ahead

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the current situation in China. The second biggest economy in the world is in the midst of a trade war with the United States that's starting to have a palpable impact as recently Apple reported its iPhone sales were lower than expected in China. And auto sales declined in 2018, which demonstrates the first retreat for that sector in two decades. And numerous other companies are pulling back on their growth forecasts as well. The U.S. and China called a 90-day ceasefire on imposing new tariffs that started in December, and have announced they will hold ministerial level talks in Beijing next week. If no agreement is reached by the March deadline, the U.S. could proceed with new tariffs and China will likely retaliate. Host Dan Loney talks with Minyuan Zhao, Associate Professor of Management at Wharton, and Jacque DeLisle, Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at University of Pennsylvania, about where China is headed in the New Year on Knowledge@Wharton.

Music and politics don't always mix.

A cease and desist order has been sent to The White House by Rihanna’s lawyer.

Google Changes Sexual Misconduct Policies After Employee Walkout

Google is changing its sexual harassment policies a week after around 20 thousand worldwide employees staged a walkout. The mass protest followed a New York Times story saying former senior executive, Andy Rubin, left the company with a $90 million exit package after harassment claims against him were found to be credible. Among the changes, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai sent a letter out saying that arbitration in these instances would no longer be mandatory as there would be more transparency in how these complaints are handled, and those who report these issues would get more support. But does all this go far enough to address employee concerns? With more on the impact of this decision, Host Dan Loney talks with Stephanie Creary, Assistant Professor in the Management Department at the Wharton School, and Harley Shaiken, a labor expert and Emeritus Professor at the University of California Berkeley's Graduate School of Education, on Knowledge@Wharton.
