Show Notes
Well, the government shutdown is over, but if you ask most Democrats about the unresolved challenge that the shutdown was about, the answer would be healthcare. This week the White House postponed its planned rollout of a new proposal to address health care costs. And with open enrollment season upon us, millions of Americans are already seeing higher health insurance costs as subsidies are set to expire. Jonathan Cohn is a senior national correspondent at The Bulwark and the author of “Sick: The Untold Story of America's Health Care Crisis— and the People Who Pay the Price” and “The Ten Year War: Obamacare and the Unfinished Crusade for Universal Coverage.” He joins WITHpod to discuss what’s driving higher prices, biggest inflection points since the Affordable Care Act was passed and what he sees as the most viable next steps.
