Examining a tentative health care compromise
Details of the health care compromise reached by Senate Democrats ? which will certainly change as Congressional negotiations grind on ? are trickling out. Changes on the table include dropping the contentious ‘public option,’ and an expansion in Medicare coverage to include people aged 55-64. To discuss this and other aspects of yesterday’s deal, we talk with our Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich and Ken Thorpe, chair of the Department of Health Policy at Emory University.
