Back to Building Back Better
With the outcome of the 2020 Presidential election now decided, the new Biden administration faces enormous challenges as it prepares to assume office on January 20, 2021.
Although President-elect Biden has articulated his health policy ideas for fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthening the ACA, many more details remain to be fleshed out and numerous other health issues of vital importance to the nation must yet be addressed.
Beginning with this initial post, The Milbank Quarterly is pleased to offer a series of timely, practical, and evidence-based recommendations to the new administration. Throughout the transition period, policy opinions authored by members of the Quarterly’s Editorial Advisory Board will be posted on the journal’s website.
We hope to contribute to constructive dialogue on these issues and to better health for the American people.
