The Affordable Care Act is back in the news. As the Supreme Court once again considers the Obama-era healthcare law, we wanted to check in with one of the people who helped shape the policy. Dr. Ted Epperly traveled back and forth between Boise and Washington D.C. ahead of the 2010 passage of “Obamacare.”
Now, as the country staggers through a global pandemic, Epperly serves on the board of the Central District Health Department, which covers Ada, Elmore, Boise and Valley Counties.
Our Morning Edition host George Prentice spoke with Dr. Epperly earlier this week. Since their interview, the health department is preparing to vote on a new set of restrictions aimed at curbing the exponential growth of COVID-19. that vote will take place Friday.
