Senior Editor for The Atlantic, CNN Senior Political Analyst, Continuting Editor for National Journal The Atlantic
The politics of health care are every bit as complex as the policy. Ronald Brownstein is the rare analyst who can explain both. Drawing on his deep experience covering every major health care debate since the 1990s, his speeches illuminate the policy options and political pressures that have shaped the continuous debate over the Affordable Care Act. His insights provide audiences a keen understanding both of how changes in federal and state policy remake the health care landscape, and how the struggle over those policies is shaped by the parties’ larger political competition. From coverage and cost, to risk sharing and regulation, no one provides a more panoramic picture of how the era of President Trump has changed the equation for patients, physicians, hospitals, insurers and all other key institutions in the health care industry, and what the future may look like with the next administration.
