A discussion on the proposed replacement of the ACA (Obamacare) and the possible benefits and consequences of these changes to our healthcare system:
- What will this mean not only at a federal level but for the state of Illinois?
- What impact will these changes have on individuals with employer-provided insurance?
- Who is the most at risk?
These questions and more will be addressed when we discuss what happens when healthcare meets politics.
