Julie Rovner, the host of KFF Health News’ weekly health policy news podcast, discusses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Vice President Kamala Harris’ choice for running mate. Walz has a liberal record, supporting bills expanding abortion rights and medical care for transgender people. The number of abortions in the US is rising post-Roe v. Wade overturn, frustrating opponents. Panelists discuss health issues and legislation, including the rise of telehealth in abortion cases. They also mention the GOP’s vague plans for healthcare policy and highlight investigations into private equity practices in Medicare Advantage programs. Finally, Michael Bloomberg’s philanthropic efforts to support historically Black medical schools are discussed.
