webcast

University of Minnesota health policy expert Sarah Gollust has looked at media coverage of the Affordable Care Act – and how the coverage (particularly on local television) affects public attitudes toward the health law and has intensified the partisanship around the ACA.

Her observations about the coverage in the past, and how it might look different in the future, are timely as we come up on the 10th anniversary of the ACA in March.
