Today on “The Midday Healthwatch,” Dr. Leana Wen, the Health Commissioner of Baltimore City, joins Tom to talk about issues in public health. Dr. Wen discusses the long-term psychological and physical trauma being visited on the thousands of children who have been separated from their immigrant parents by US border officials in recent months. Following Tuesday's primary election, the political battle lines have been drawn in the race for Governor. When it comes to health care, how do the actions of Governor Larry Hogan stack-up against the proposals of Democratic Challenger Ben Jealous? Earlier this month, the Trump Administration proposed changes to federal Title X grant rules that some are calling a Gag Rule, restricting what physicians can tell their patients in conversations about reproductive health. Dr. Wen also discusses progress toward passage of the CARE Act, a new legislative assault on the opioid crisis proposed recently by Rep. Elijah Cummings and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
