In this stream, we looked at three major domestic policies: Social Security, Healthcare, and Education. Specifically, we looked at the current issues and challenges in all three. In healthcare, we dived into Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). In the education policy arena, we looked at the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the No Child Left Behind Act, and the Every Student Succeeds Act.
