As her presidential campaign begins, voters are learning about Vice President Kamala Harris’ record on many issues, including health policy.
In a
WTOP-FM interview,
Health Affairs Editor-In-Chief
Alan Weil discussed some of her past positions, both in California and Washington.
He observed that as California’s Attorney General, she was frequently handling “business of health” cases.
Vice President Harris, Weil noted, has supported President Biden’s health policy agenda and been an important administration voice on reproductive rights.
In other health policy areas, he expects that we will hear much more about her views between now and Election Day.
Weil concluded his interview by describing a new
Health Affairs study, “
Adverse Childhood Experiences: Health Care Utilization And Expenditures In Adulthood,” by
Thomas Selden and coauthors from
the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
