This week, Sam, Yael, Matt and Yaz discuss healthcare! We discuss Obamacare and its intended replacement, the American Healthcare Act (AHCA), while reflecting on the different values that lie behind the construction of American, Australian and European welfare states. Lastly, the panel also takes a look at the Turnbull Government’s mooted changes to the Racial Discrimination Act. There are some audio issues from 00:00 to 02:15, for which we apologise (ensure if you are wearing headphones that you turn down the sound immediately prior to 02:15).If this episode interested you, check out Sarah Kliff’s writing at Vox for in-depth analysis of all things American healthcare (http://www.vox.com/authors/sarah-kliff).
