Einstein Med Students Discuss Healthcare Policy with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (2 of 2, Full Event)

What started as a chat on healthcare justice between Einstein anatomy lab partners grew into a town hall event at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, featuring U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who gave a short talk before answering students’ questions about healthcare policy in the United States. Reise Sample, Sarah Kellner, and Joseph Tharakan represented three groups onstage: Students for a National Health Plan, Medical Students for Choice and Reproductive Justice, and the Family & Social Medicine Interest Group.

The town hall was also open to audience questions, and they came from physicians, researchers, and medical students on such topics as physician compensation under universal healthcare, criminal justice, addiction issues, the lack of healthy food options in the Bronx, and access to healthcare for undocumented residents.
