We know that millions of Americans go without medical care because they can’t afford it and that millions more are mired in debt because they can’t pay their medical bills.  But why can’t Americans find a fix? Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle visits Zócalo to explain why the health care crisis is so persistent and pernicious and gives us an insiders’ view on the political hurdles that lie ahead.  He argues for the creation of a health board not unlike the Federal Reserve that would offer a public framework within which a private health-care system could operate more effectively and efficiently—insulated from political pressure yet accountable to elected officials and the American people. At a time when political tensions are high—and momentum is building for reform—Daschle takes on the nation’s most pressing domestic issue.
