Is Health Care a Human Right? (Heather H. Howard) by Princeton Policy Podcasts

With the coronavirus revealing the cracks in the U.S. health care system, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) being challenged before the Supreme Court, how will health care access and affordability impact voters’ decisions in November?

Heather Howard joins Before the Ballot to discuss how the pandemic is intertwined with the economic crisis, its effects on the ongoing opioid epidemic and preventative care, and the campaigns’ approaches to health care policy.

Howard is a lecturer at Princeton University and director of State Health and Value Strategies.
