Senate health care bill, gun violence




OHSU Week show

Summary: CORRECTION: The Senate health care bill was introduced, not passed, as was incorrectly stated in this episode. The United States Senate introduced their own version of a “repeal and replace” health care bill last week. Many of the concerns OHSU had with the house version remain with this bill. And a forum held at OHSU brought together business leaders to discuss gun violence as a public health issue. Guests: Abby Tibbs, associate vice president for government relations; Dr. Brian Gibbs, vice president for equity and inclusion; John Rosenthal, founder of Stop Handgun Violence and president of Meredith Management; Dr. John Hunter, interim dean of the School of Medicine.
