Senator Andy Kim on MediKids, Education & Raising Healthy Kids
Senator Andy Kim discusses his background in South Jersey, his path from public service and diplomacy to Congress, and how the September 11 attacks shaped his focus on national security and public service. He outlines his priorities on foreign policy, health care, and support for families, and describes his MediKids proposal to automatically enroll children in a child-focused health program with an opt-out option.
He also talks about the connection between children’s health and learning, the need for more access to pediatric, dental, vision, and mental health care, and his concerns about federal education policy and IDEA funding for students with disabilities. The interview ends with brief personal questions about teachers, New Jersey sports, and favorite local spots.
