Mark Tipps and Senator Bill Frist on Reconciliation:
How does Reconciliation work, and why does it matter?
Jul 21, 2025

A Second Opinion with Senator Bill Frist, M.D.
The goal is to have A Second Opinion be seen as the go to place for learning how to improve health and health care. Together we will have conversations with the health thought leaders, the entrepreneurs, the clinicians, the policy makers, the business leaders, and the consumers— to better understand how we all can improve health and well-being — of ourselves as individuals, of our families — and of our communities. We achieve this through education and engagement at the nexus of policy, medicine, and innovation
