Today's Topics In Health Disparities

With a new administration and substantially changed Congress coming to Washington in January, there is a significant opportunity for new policy initiatives to tackle issues of racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care. The Kaiser Family Foundation hosts an interactive webcast to examine the implications of the changes as part of its Today's Topics In Health Disparities series.
