New Senate Republicans Health Bill.
Under pressure from president Trump to pass a health-care bill, Senate Republican leaders released a revised health-care plan to repeal and replace ACA, keeping in place the controversial spending cuts to Medicaid. They had scheduled a vote on the revised bill this week, but key Republicans are voicing opposition and other senators have announced an alternative plan. An analyst comments on the details of the new bill, and efforts by grassroots organizers to be part of the debate, and a local political leader comments on the impact on Los Angeles.
Guests: Nancy Gómez, Organizing Director, Health Access California, Los Angeles, CA; Hilda Solís, Member, Board of Supervisors, County of Los Angeles, CA.
Coverage for All Kids in Oregon. A state legislation known as Cover All Kids passed the legislature in Salem. The bill, which will extend health coverage to all Oregon kids, including the undocumented, now goes to Gov. Kate Brown, who has championed the plan. A leading advocate comments on this and other developments.
Guest: Alberto Moreno, Executive Director, Oregon Latino Health Coalition, Salem, OR.
