Sen. Cassidy Has a Plan to Lower Healthcare Costs. Can It Work?

Next week Congress will decide on proposed plans to save pandemic-era enhanced tax credits, which are due to expire in less than 30 days. Without these credits, tens of millions of Americans could see their insurance premiums increase by 114% on average. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a doctor and the chairman of the Senate’s health committee, joins Walter Isaacson to share his proposal.
