Jonathan Cohn is a senior national correspondent at HuffPost, where he covers politics and policy. He will discuss his book, “The Ten Year War: Obamacare and the Unfinished Crusade for Universal Coverage,” which examines how the Affordable Care Act — better known as “Obamacare” — came to be, why it looks like it does, and what it has meant for average Americans. The virtual conversation is free and open to the public, and U-M students can participate as part of a one-credit course, SWK 503 Section 001.

This event is part of the annual Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions fall speaker series, which introduces key issues regarding the causes and consequences of poverty featuring experts in policy and practice from across the nation, with the goal of encouraging the formation of a broad community of learners to engage in these issues together.
