Why do millions of working Americans still lack health insurance? Dean Baker sits down with economist John Schmitt to break down the massive gaps in U.S. healthcare coverage and what it means for workers across the country. They look at which workers are getting left behind, how the Affordable Care Act changed the game, and why low-income workers are still struggling to get coverage. Plus, they explore the maze that is our current healthcare system and discuss what real reform might look like. If you've ever wondered why healthcare coverage is such a mess in America – or if you're dealing with insurance headaches yourself – don't miss this conversation.
