  • Summary

  • Are economists and the practice of economics relevant in today’s world of deficits, upside-down budgets and the inverse nature of supply and demand driven by the federal government’s financial performance? Do the key components of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) make good ol’ economic sense? Join Robert and his guest, Larry Van Horn, Ph.D., executive director of health affairs and an associate professor of management (economics) at Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management as they discuss the current role of the economist. They also look at how the ACA has impacted the U.S. economy, focusing on specific regulations, payment models and entities such as for-profit health systems and accountable care organizations.
