Morgan McGarvey.
In February, KSPH leaders, along with PNHP co-founder Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, met with House Budget Chair Rep. John Yarmuth to discuss Medicare for All hearings in his committee.
Students at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine hosted a panel discussion about single payer that included state Sen.
