Dr. Jonathan Gruber, MIT Economist and Health Reform Architect

This week on Conversations on Health Care, hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter discuss health care reform with MIT Health Economist Dr. Jonathan Gruber, one of the chief architects of health care reform in Massachusetts, and a significant contributor to the development of the Affordable Care Act health reform legislation. Dr. Gruber discusses the economics underlying health reform, and his recent “graphic novel,” Health Care Reform: What it is, Why it’s Necessary, How it Works, which translates complex legislation into simple terms for consumers.
