Al Franken podcast reviewing the history of ACA (Obamacare) AND where does it stand today & in 2020?

Two points to start off.

1. Healthcare in the US including a brief history of the ACA since it passed in 2010. A great "inside baseball" review of the facts about the ACA and its troubled path as seen from the former Senator Franken's inside experiences. Franken discusses the many attempts of the GOP to repeal the entire plan. Franken and his guest offer predictions about its future in 2020 and forward. If you or a loved one relies on ACA / Obamacare please continue and share this with others.

2. Former Senator Al Franken interviews Andy Slavitt. Andy Slavitt is the individual that was hired to fix the embarrassing crash of The Affordable Care Act (ACA Obamacare) at its introduction in 2010. Franken and his guest review the history of the ACA and make some predictions of where it will be in 2020. Please listen to the Al Franken Podcast in the link provided below. Franken's often humorous stories about the behind the scenes details of the maneuverings of the GOP to kill the ACA makes the listening worthwhile.

A final personal note. Senator Franken's detailed knowledge and grasp of the status of worldwide healthcare systems make his absence disheartening.


Thank You for bearing with me in my first attempt at starting a new thread. Apologies if it isn't in the right forum. I decided not to post it in the Democratic Primaries forum although it does have connections to the 2020 election.
