With a new administration and Congress that have vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, journalists will be faced with the daunting task of covering what will doubtless be a complicated and shifting political, financial and social landscape. This symposium, made possible by a grant from The Commonwealth Fund, will look at the ACA so far, the impact of its repeal, possible legal implications and its potential replacements. In addition, the symposium will examine drug pricing issues—from EpiPens to generics—and the future of the burgeoning medical and recreational marijuana industry, legalized in most states but still illegal federally.
