The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill - What's in it for Health Care

Last week, President Joe Biden and his administration released
more detail on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
Act.


While a lot of focus has been given to provisions, such as the
$66 billion investment in passenger rail since the creation of
Amtrak 50 years ago, there are many areas which will affect the
health care sector.


Health Affairs' Senior Editors Ellen Bayer and Chris Fleming
share the latest on the bipartisan infrastructure deal and how
health care will be affected, including policies on telehealth,
clean drinking water, climate change, broadband internet, and
other social determinants of health.
