This week, U.S. House Democrats unveiled their new health care overhaul plan on Capitol Hill. What impact will these reforms have on New Mexico? On this week’s episode of “New Mexico in Focus,” “New Mexico In Focus,” KNME-TV’s weekly hour-long public affairs show airing on Friday, July 17 on KNME-TV channel 5.1 and repeating on Sunday, July 19 at 6:30 a.m., co-host David Alire Garcia will discuss this potential impact with state senator Dede Feldman.
Feldman, a longtime advocate for health care reform, recently spent time in Washington D.C. discussing her efforts with members of the White House.
“New Mexico in Focus” also continues its series of one-on-one conversations with Albuquerque’s mayoral candidates. This week Garcia talks with R.J. Berry about his plans for the Duke City.
Then, Gene Grant and this week’s “The Line” panelists - Whitney Waite Cheshire, Teresa Cordova, Margaret Montoya and Jim Scarantino - will debate the following topics:
• The Sonia Sotomayor Confirmation Hearings
• The State's Efforts To Battle Drunk Driving
• The Potential For New Mexico's Commuter Train To Go High Speed
“New Mexico in Focus” is produced by Kevin McDonald and Kathy Wimmer and closed captioning has been made possible by a gift from Mrs. Elspeth G. Bobbs.
