The Impact is a show about how policy affects people — policies that work and policies that need some work. We are going to follow those policies after they leave Congress or statehouses, to see what happens when they wind their way out into the real world where all of us live. Our first season focuses on health care and the many challenges consumers face in the American health care system. We'll criss-cross the country to tell you about the people who have struggled with these challenges first-hand. And we'll show you that these problems are the direct result of policy choices that the United States has made over the past century. Thoughts? Questions? Email us: [email protected]
