The Scoop with Tanya Flanagan
Tanya Flanagan hosts a discussion with Assembly Member David Orentlicher, who represents District 20 in Nevada.

He emphasizes the need for preventive measures, particularly reducing smoking rates, which are high in Nevada. Orentlicher also highlights the challenges of accessing specialists and the high costs of healthcare, suggesting that government negotiation with hospitals could lower prices. He advocates for better healthcare policies and the importance of early voting, which ends on June 5.
