Is Healthcare a Human Right? | Lanhee Chen
Hoover Institution\u2019s Lanhee Chen returns to survey the current state of the American healthcare system, including Medicare/Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and private insurance programs \u2014 along with new path breaking models, like Direct Primary Care. We discuss policy reforms that could bring much needed transparency and simplicity to care delivery. And we discuss why \u201cchoice and access for all\u201d is a better way to think about healthcare policy as opposed to calling it a \u201chuman right.\u201d We also talk about the implications of the Supreme Court\u2019s recent ruling on affirmative action in college admissions.\xa0
