Part One:
We chat with Naomi Zewde, Postdoctoral Research Scientist, about the extent to which Medicaid expansion reduced the incidence of poverty and improved the lives of the poor and near-poor.

Part Two:
We speak with Prof. Michael Pagano, Dean of the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois, about why 2019 might be the year to begin addressing the infrastructure deficit. We discuss important factors that the government should consider when developing infrastructure plans.
