Podcast: What The Health? Why Is This Stuff So Complicated?

July 6, 2017

From left, Paige Winfield Cunningham of The Washington Post, Margot Sanger-Katz of The New York Times, Julie Rovner of Kaiser Health News and Joanne Kenen of Politico team up in KHN's studio to record the latest episode of “What the Health?” (Katherine Gilyard/KHN)

Julie Rovner of Kaiser Health News, Joanne Kenen of Politico, Margot Sanger-Katz of The New York Times and Paige Winfield Cunningham of The Washington Post discuss the latest on the Senate’s effort to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act, and why it is so difficult to make popular changes, such as requiring insurers to cover people with preexisting health conditions.

Plus, for extra credit, the panelists recommend their favorite health stories of the week that they think you should read, too:
