Obviously the first, second, and third priorities of the Joe Biden administration will be the coronavirus pandemic response -- but beyond that, how will the next White House tackle the complex issue of healthcare policy in the United States? The opioid epidemic got pushed off the front page by COVID-19, but it's still ravaging communities around the country. What kind of federal response should people expect from new leadership in DC? What will the new administration mean for the stability of the Affordable Care Act? And why exactly is the healthcare system in the United States so expensive and convoluted, and legislation so fraught, compared with similar countries? Dr. Adam Pellillo, Assistant Professor of Economics at La Salle University joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about healthcare policy in the United States from Trump to Biden and beyond.
