Checking on Obamacare in New Jersey, Six Years Later

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 12, 2016

It's been nearly six years since Obamacare was signed into law.

In New Jersey, enrollment numbers are up in places like Newark and Trenton, but ensuring affordability remains a real challenge. So where do things stand with one of the state’s biggest industries and what have all the changes meant for patients?

Heather Howard, lecturer in Public Affairs at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, discusses how the Affordable Care Act has affected New Jersey residents and the budding healthcare industry.

→ Keep the conversation going: Brian will be moderating a conversation about healthcare costs at NJPAC in Newark this Thursday, July 14. Hear from policy experts and politicians. The event is FREE but space is limited so RSVP here.
