- Abstract:
- Before the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety and insecurity about health care costs were driving demands for health care reform and making it a top election issue. In February 2020, Penn's Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) held a conference, Medicare for All and Beyond: Expanding Coverage, Containing Costs, which included a panel discussion on affordability. COVID-19 and its aftermath have added new urgency to the need to make health care affordable, and reduce barriers to needed testing and treatment, such as out-of-network bills and out-of-pocket costs. In this critical time, making care affordable for all becomes a public health imperative.
