Show Notes

This week, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has named former New York City Health Commissioner Mary Bassett to lead the state’s health department. Our political observer discusses the idea of universal healthcare in New York. Also, a COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers started this week in New York — and with it, a fear of staffing shortages at medical facilities.
