Health care related bills are dominating this session of the Washington State Legislature, with dozens under consideration. From mental health funding to immunization exemptions to increased B&O taxes, there’s no shortage of legislation that will have a direct impact on doctors. Among the most important and influential voices on health care policy in Washington state is Rep. Eileen Cody (D-Seattle), the chair of the House Health Care and Wellness Committee. Cody recently retired after working at Kaiser Permanente (formerly Group Health Cooperative) in Seattle for the past forty years. She is a neuro-rehab nurse certified in both rehabilitation nursing and multiple sclerosis care. In addition to her work at Kaiser Permanente, Eileen is a founding member of District 1199 NW/SEIU Hospital and Health Care Employees Union. Rep. Cody is the longest serving house member, and certainly among the most knowledgeable - if not the most knowledgeable - legislator when it comes to health care. Despite her jam-packed and hectic schedule, she was kind enough to take some time to visit with host/producer Josh Kerns of the King County Medical Society and share her insights for this special edition of Docs Talk.

Capitol Ideas: The Washington State House Democratic Caucus Podcast
Our guest today is state Representative Laurie Jinkins. Laurie represents Washington’s 27th legislative district, a vaguely mushroom-shaped piece of northern Pierce County that includes most of Tacoma and all of Ruston, and stretches from Fife in the east to Highway 16 in the west. Representative Jinkins is midway through her first two-year term in the House. Before running for office in 2010, Laurie was – and still is -- deputy director of the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, managing its daily operations. She’s served as Washington state’s assistant secretary of health, and as a young law-school graduate she worked as assistant state attorney general in Tacoma. She’s also a board member, director or member of far too many civic organizations to mention. In Olympia, Laurie is vice chair of the House Healthcare and Wellness Committee, and sits on the transportation, capital budget and environment committees as well.
On his way to Europe to pick up his Nobel Prize, President Obama addresses some controversial issues.
