Ep. 20 - Oh so long COVID and new religious objections to Obamacare

This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Ron and Matthew discuss long COVID and its potential effect on the US labor force and a new ruling on the Affordable Care Act. They answer these questions: * Will long COVID have an effect on the US workforce? * Should long COVID be classified as a disability? * Why is some preventative care free and who decides? * Can religious employers object to preventative care mandated under the Affordable Care Act? * How does the new ACA ruling affect other areas of healthcare? * Will the No Surprises Act cause more emergency room visits?
