The Georgia runoff election confirmed a democratic Congress for the incoming Biden Administration. And, in late December 2020, a sweeping legislative package added more protections from surprise medical bills.Listen to Leslie and Rob talk about what all these events mean for health policy in 2021.Related Links:What a Democratic Congress Means For the ACA (Health Affairs Blog)Coverage Provisions in the 2021 Appropriations and COVID-19 Stimulus Package (Health Affairs Blog)Arbitration Over Out-Of-Network Medical Bills: Evidence from New Jersey Payment Disputes (Health Affairs)
