New America in California, Health Policy Program
Health care is a top priority for California, but solutions to its critical problems are still challenged by the complex politics of powerful, competing stakeholders and fear of change. New America Foundation presented an insider’s view about how Massachusetts was recently able to overcome similar obstacles and reach bipartisan consensus on a landmark plan for achieving universal health care.
John McDonough, director of Health Care for All in Massachusetts and a former Democratic legislator, is a veteran health care reformer who was instrumental in bringing the two parties together and crafting a compromise agreement with Republican Gov. Mitt Romney.
