America is facing a double-whammy: a public health emergency and an economic depression that is eliminating health insurance for millions of unemployed. How can America preserve health insurance?

Joel Ario, former Obama health official and a consultant at the Manatt firm, will assess each of these options. He will be joined by the the Deputy Majority Leader in the Minnesota State Senate and chair of the Health and Human Services Finance and Policy Committee, Sen. Michelle Benson.
