  • Health and the Election with Larry Levitt
    2024/10/30

    With the election just days away, Larry Levitt joins me to discuss where Harris and Trump stand on key health issues: reproductive health, affordability and Medicaid. While health has not taken center stage (as it has in the past), the outcome of this election will have profound impacts on every aspect of health in the years ahead.

    We discuss:

    • Why the ACA is no longer a political battlefield
    • The shifting dynamics of abortion as a single-issue vote
    • Why medical debt and drug prices are key affordability issues to watch
    • Whether we could see bipartisan progress on AI governance, long term care or PBM reform over the next four years

    Larry reminds us that health IS an economic issue:

    “People think of the economy and health care being separate issues, but they're In fact, not separate issues at all. I mean, we spend an enormous amount on health care. A lot of people's household budgets go to health care. So, you know, when you talk about an economic issue, health is an economic issue, issue for people.”

  • A Bold Plan to Increase Life Expectancy in NYC with Dr. Ashwin Vasan
    2024/10/16

    How do you create a healthier city? As the climate shifts, screens dominate our lives and cities continue to grow - urban areas are grappling with how to put themselves on a better track to health. New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan joins The Other 80 to talk about his ambitious plan to increase health in the Big Apple, with the goal of increasing life expectancy from 78 to 83 years.

    We discuss:

    • What Paul Farmer taught him about rejecting a scarcity mindset and reaching for bold goals
    • The three cross-cutting challenges addressed in the Healthy NYC agenda: access to primary care, mental health and climate change
    • Why NY issued a public health advisory on teen social media use and is suing Meta, Tik Tok YouTube and SnapChat

    Ashwin shares why youth social media use is such a major public health priority:

    “ Our kids are hurting … Fifty percent of teens are saying that they are either moderately or severely depressed …It's hard to ignore the role that digital media and social media is playing … And what we found was pretty troubling …The more time you're spending on social media, the worse your self -reported mental health is. Whether it's symptoms of depression, anxiety, hopelessness, fear for the future.”

  • The Way Out of The Gun Violence Crisis with Dr. Megan Ranney
    2024/10/02

    In July, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a landmark advisory declaring firearm violence a national public health crisis. The advisory builds on decades of work from Dr. Megan Ranney and other researchers who advocate taking a public health approach to reducing firearm violence. She joined us at Aspen Ideas: Health to discuss what this means: namely moving from a focus on law and order to centering harm reduction and prevention. Now, as the Dean of the Yale School of Public Health, Megan is applying the same systems thinking approach to focus on the big changes we need to drive health in the US.

    We discuss:

    • What it means to be a great public health communicator
    • How public health approaches were used to dramatically reduce automobile deaths over the last 50 years, and how the same strategies should be used now to tackle firearm deaths
    • Her take on bridging the gap between medical care and public health

    Megan says this is the moment for public health reinvention:

    “This is a moment where we get to reinvent how we study, teach, and most of all, practice public health, not just locally, but also globally, as we come out of the COVID pandemic, and I think there's a real moral clarity, but also a moral imperative for us, as public health professionals, to seize this moment, to take this kind of pivot point that we're at as a field, and to move it forward in a direction that we will be proud of.”
