Show Notes

With the recent election of Donald Trump as U.S. president, there is a very real chance that the Affordable Care Act will be gutted or repealed. Because of that, it is perhaps ironic that Daniel Dawes' book is entitled, "150 Years of Obamacare." The book provides an indispensable insider's point of view on the political challenges and compromises that went into President Obama's signature health care law, and the unsung figures who helped make it possible. With Obamacare now in jeopardy, Dawes' historical account becomes all the more important.
