On Thursday evening, February 16th, our Wharton Business Program presents Penn alum, and ASU Associate Professor, Jonathan Ketcham 

Due to the Affordable Care Act, the number of uninsured people in the US is at a record low. Yet around 30 million remain uninsured, and many others face limited access to care due to high out of pocket costs and narrow provider networks. The president-elect ran on a promise to repeal and replace the ACA. Republican control of the house and senate make this a strong possibility, as does the central role of the executive branch in sustaining efforts necessary for the ACA to continue.  In this conversation we will discuss the primary challenges within the US health insurance system that the ACA and any replacement plan must address, and the approaches we have available to address those challenges.  Of course, this is a very timely and relevant topic; because of the space, this is a limited attendance event; save the date, and be sure to RESERVE as soon as we open ticketing.
