Meanwhile, evidence mounts on the law’s effects on coverage, access to care, and health care utilization.

Chan School of Public Health, we'll focus on the on the ACA’s effects to date and its uncertain future. After the speech, Dr. Sommers will be joined by J.B. Silvers, Ph.D., John R. Mannix Medical Mutual of Ohio Professor of Health Care Finance at Case Western Reserve University.
