Julie Rovner, chief Washington correspondent for KFF Health News, joins Midday to examine some of the claims being made about health insurance coverage, and to explain why health care costs are increasing so much.
Rovner is the host of the KFF podcast, What the Health? and previously spent 16 years covering health policy for NPR.
