Editors Leslie Erdelack and Rob Lott kick off 2021 with a new
episode of This Week.

A lot of news was crammed into the first week of 2021. Early on,
Haven, the health care organization founded by Amazon, J.P.
Morgan, and Berkshire Hathaway, decided to fold after being in
business for three years. The Georgia runoff election confirmed a
democratic Congress for the incoming Biden Administration. And,
in late December 2020, a sweeping legislative package added more
protections from surprise medical bills.

Listen to Leslie and Rob talk about what all these events mean
for health policy in 2021.
