Following the announcement of $5 million in state funding to keep the Burdett Birth Center open over the next five years, New York State Assemblyman John McDonald (D-Cohoes), joined Tom Eschen on Power and Politics.
They took a deep dive into the Birth Center funding, and why he wants the State to continue to support pre and postnatal care, and also the community members who fought to keep the Center open. That conversation continued with the issues facing emergency rooms and the root causes behind long wait times.
McDonald also discussed the movement at the State level to protect young people from addictive social media algorithms, which continued with thoughts on the current protests on college campuses across the country.
