Tensions, Tradeoffs and Takeaways: What’s at Stake for America 100 Days into the Pandemic  and Where We Go From Here

The pandemic has exposed major societal weaknesses, among them, gaps in our public health infrastructure, vulnerabilities in our health care financing system, and pervasive racial inequities. As the pandemic progresses, policymakers will continue to be faced with important, wide-ranging, and interconnected decisions, among them, ensuring the health and safety of the population, bolstering health system capacity, addressing disparities among communities of color, and protecting our economy and society from future public health emergencies. During this interactive discussion, three preeminent health policy leaders examined the lessons learned three months into the crisis and laid out considerations for decision-makers as they work to stem the tide of the pandemic and build a more resilient health care system.
