Panel Discussion: Coverage & Access

At the same time many lost their jobs and job-based coverage, Congress enacted subsidies for employer continuation coverage and expanded funding for Medicaid and ACA subsidies. HHS also regulated access to services for voluntary care. How did these reforms and the ongoing pandemic impact health coverage and access? How are employers responding? Does the pandemic make the case for a public option? What levers were pulled to cover the COVID tests and vaccines? What role did- and should- telehealth play in expanding access to care?
