What the Supreme Court's Ruling Means for You

It's been a busy few days for political scientists called on to decipher the Supreme Court's ruling this week on the Affordable Care Act. For Walker School academic and author James Brasfield the days have been filled with interviews on television, in print and on radio. His latest interview appeared today in the New York Times.

"Professor Brasfield has dedicated a good part of his professional life as a student and teacher of health policy," said Walker School Dean Benjamin Ola. Akande when reporters started to call Dr. Brasfield asking for his expertise. "As such, everyone benefits from his perspective post politics which is focused on the goodness of all citizens."
