Description
The Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation hosted this panel session with leading health care journalists about the rapidly shifting health policy landscape in Washington DC. Panelists discussed the high drama of a tumultuous year in health policy that has seen repeated congressional attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the resignation of a cabinet secretary amidst scandal, and a steady effort to undermine Obama-era priorities. Further, the panel explored the role of journalism in modern policy-making, and how social media impacts the dialogue.
