Trump vs. Harris on Health Care: Experts Explain Each Side

Originally broadcast October 10, 2024

The countdown is on to election day with health care issues hanging in the balance as never before. The biggest one: Abortion and reproductive rights. Andrea Ducas, the Vice President of Health Policy at the Center for American Progress, says “What you see with Vice President Harris is a candidate who’s committed to protecting women’s freedoms, to protecting women’s right to choose.”

On the other side of the political spectrum is Wayne Winegarden, Ph.D., the Senior Fellow in Business and Economics at Pacific Research Institute, and Director of PRI’s Center for Medical Economics and Innovation. He and his colleagues believe that patients are not in control of the health care system and that we suffer from an opaque and complex pricing structure that harms patients. Winegarden’s free market approach means he advocates for doing away with the Obamacare subsidies that Congress must consider, as they soon expire.

As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump engage voters at rallies, online and on TV, our guests provide the policy perspectives that will undergird the thinking of the administration that will take power. Join hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter for this important conversation.
