Episode Description

John shares our take on what happened in health care at the end of August including the NYU at the frontier of offering free tuition to medical students, as well as how a few Republican senators have introduced legislation to protect Affordable Care Act’s provisions for people with pre-existing conditions.

The New York University School of Medicine announced that it is now offering free tuition for medical students, becoming the first major medical school in the U.S. to offer tuition-free education. “Our full-tuition scholarships make it possible for aspiring physicians to choose a specialty based on their talent and inclinations to better serve the communities who need it most, and to more easily pursue scientific breakthroughs that improve how we care for patients.”
Ten Republican senators have introduced legislation that purports to protect the Affordable Care Act’s provisions for people with pre-existing conditions. The language offering protections would be effected by amending the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
