Welcome back to Why Science! In this episode we speak with Assistant Professor and health policy researcher Dr. Andrew Barnes to learn more about what decisions factor into choosing an insurance plan and how his background in HIV policy research led to working with his students to address the opioid crisis in Virginia.
