Abstract
This talk will begin with an historical overview of the federal government’s role in health care policy and the electoral concerns that compelled President Obama to pursue reform in the middle of the greatest recession since the great depression. The talk will then explore how Congress wrote and passed the bill, a story that explains many of the implementation challenges that are now surfacing, and concludes with a discussion of how the bill is structured and is supposed to work in the months and years ahead.
