BONUS EPISODE

As part of Policy Spotlight, a new virtual event series from Health Affairs, Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil welcomed Elizabeth "Liz" Fowler, the new deputy administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and director of its Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to an in-depth discussion of Biden administration's plans and priorities for health care.

The interview was conducted on June 3, 2021.

As chief health council to then-Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus (D-MT) at the time of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Liz Fowler was a major force in crafting and shepherding the landmark legislation through the Senate. Later, as a vice president at The Commonwealth Fund, she was a contributor to Health Affairs’ 2020 special issue marking the 10-year anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act: The ACA At 10. 

In her current post, Dr. Fowler will play a key role setting priorities for the future of the ACA, insurance exchanges, Medicaid expansion, and a host of other issues critical to the quality, accessibility, and affordability of American health care.

Policy Spotlight features conversations with influential health policy experts in Washington, DC, and beyond. Interested in learning who is next as a speaker? Sign up for Health Affairs Today or Health Affairs Sunday Update newsletters to be the first to hear about the upcoming events.
