Los Angeles supervisor candidates discuss healthcare issues

The Los Angeles Times has asked the two major candidates competing to succeed Los Angeles County Supervisor Yvonne B. Burke about some key issues in the city's 2nd District. Los Angeles City Councilman Bernard C. Parks and state Sen. Mark Ridley-Thomas (D-Los Angeles) offer their solutions to healthcare issues facing the county and the district, such as a growing budget deficit in the county's Health Services Department, large numbers of uninsured patients and the failure to reopen Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Medical Center.
