The Road to Reform (pt. I)
Take a drive through the 20th-century proposals for health care reform
In November, one week after the election, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case about the fate of the Affordable Care Act. How did the ACA come to pass, and what other health care reforms have succeeded or failed along the way? Take a drive on the road to reform that has been a century in the making … from the Progressive era of the early 1900s to today. Part one begins with Teddy Roosevelt and concludes with Harry S. Truman. And stay tuned next week for part two, as we close out the 20th century and examine what has happened with the ACA.
