City Health Commissioner Says Health Law Shouldn’t Be Replaced (WBAL)

Monday Jul 3rd, 2017

Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen joined both WBAL News Now with Bryan Nehman and The C4 Show on Wednesday morning.

Wen said  the Affordable Care Act  has been beneficial to the city, why young people should be buying health care, and how the House or Senate health care plan would impact the country.

She also touched on the opioid crisis.

While speaking to C4, she offered an explanation as to why she opposes any plan to replace the current ACA. 

"For me, it's not a political strategy, it's not a talking point," Wen said. "It's about peoples' lives and I've seen exactly what happens when people go without access to health care. I strongly believe that all Americans need to have a baseline of basic health services that we should be getting."

When I’ve asked experts about these approaches, it’s not that any of them are bad. It’s that they fall short. For instance, Leana Wen, the former health commissioner of Baltimore (and soon-to-be president of Planned Parenthood), said that the Support for Patients and Communities Act “is simply tinkering around the edges.”
