In Washington, DC, the story often ends when Congress passes a law. For us, that’s where the story begins. We examine the consequences of what happens when powerful people act — or fail to act. This season, Jillian Weinberger explores the big ideas from the 2020 presidential candidates: how their ideas worked, or didn’t work, in other places or at other times. Produced by Vox and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

The Impact of 2020

In this season preview, Vox’s Jillian Weinberger calls a fellow native Ohioan to discuss the perils of Swing State pride during presidential elections, and their frustration with the way election coverage casts their home state. Facing yet another presidential election, The Impact is taking a different tack. We're not running around Ohio, asking patrons in diners to name their preferred candidate. We're exploring what all these contenders actually want to do if they're elected. The 2020 candidates have some bold ideas to tackle some of our country's biggest problems, like climate change, the opioid crisis, and unaffordable health care. A lot of their proposals have been tried before, so, in a sense, the results are in. This season, the Impact has those stories: how the big ideas from 2020 candidates succeeded — or failed — in other places, or at other times. What can Sen. Elizabeth Warren's proposal to fight the opioid crisis learn from what the US did to fight the AIDS epidemic? How did Germany — an industrial powerhouse that invented the automobile — manage to implement a Green New Deal? How did public health insurance change Taiwan?

I just listened the episode about Taiwan’s health insurance. It’s glad to know that my own country’s healthcare system is being studied and learned by other countries. No just it proves that our healthcare is good (if not the best in the world),and it also means that our success can set up an example for other countries to follow which possibly makes people around the world get what Taiwanese people get-cheap healthcare for all. But, it’s also worth mentioning that our system might go bankrupt in near future, and people in Taiwan are getting older which definitely puts more strains on our healthcare insurance. Vox is a wonderful media. I tune in for Vox daily everyday, and I watch every single video Vox puts on YouTube.(Although due to my poor English, sometimes I don’t fully understand) The host of Impact said put review can help promote the show, so here I am.
