The case for healthcare price caps
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Marketplaceβs own podcast host.
Healthcare affordability is top-of-mind for many Americans right now. And for a long time, state legislatorsβ only avenue for easing that burden was through care subsidies. But what about looking at the problem from a whole new angle? In this episode, two states, unalike in their political leanings, try out healthcare price caps. Plus: Rising oil prices push up short-term bond yields, more homebuyers look into adjustable-rate mortgages, and we try to predict Fed Chair Warshβs next move.
