With less than a week until election day, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final case to voters, laying out starkly different visions on a number of key issues. White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López takes a deep dive into the candidates’ positions on health care.

As recently as the early 80s, about three of every four doctors in the U.S. worked for themselves, owning small clinics. Today, some 75 percent of physicians are employees of hospital systems or large corporate entities. Some worry the trend is leading to diminished quality of care and is one reason doctors at a large Midwestern health provider decided to unionize. Fred de Sam Lazaro reports.
