Background Briefing with Ian Masters, March 5, 2020
With Barron’s reporting that health insurance stocks were the real Super Tuesday winners as shares in United Health Group went up 8.9% Wednesday, Cigna climbed 7.3%, and Anthem gained 8.8%, Ian Masters spoke with Dr. James Kahn, emeritus professor at the Institute for Global Health Policy Studies in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Institute for Global Health Sciences at the University of California San Francisco.
Dr. Kahn discussed where Medicare For All stands and whether a gradual approach building on the ACA with a public option would be a viable alternative (spoiler alert: the answer is “no”).
