Amy Finkelstein, MIT economist, MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, and co-author of We've Got You Covered: Rebooting American Health Care, joins The Realignment. Amy and Marshall discuss why we need to stop applying Band-Aids to a broken system and instead pursue wholesale reform, the need to distinguish between (and address separately) the problems of 30 million Americans without health insurance and spiraling healthcare costs, moving beyond slogans like "Medicare for All," and what it would take to offer "basic" healthcare coverage to the entire country.
