Orlando 

The Orlando nightclub shooting earlier this week has raised serious concerns regarding mental health, LGBT health care, and gun control, all pieces of a broader puzzle that affect national health care. The shooter's mental stability has been brought into question, leading to further discussions about a bipartisan bill focused on mental health. The bill, considered a GOP answer to mass shootings according to the Hill, passed the House on Wednesday after a long delay. In the wake of the massacre, Orlando hospitals called for blood donations, but the group most in need — gay and bisexual men — weren't allowed to donate. Despite some media cheering that OneBlood, a local blood center in Orlando, had temporarily lifted the ban (enacted in 1983 by the FDA as cases of HIV/AIDS soared), those reports proved to be false. The LGBT community was quick to note the irony that such strict restrictions were put in place to prevent donation in the interest of health, yet none existed to prevent sales of the weapons that resulted in the deadly attack. In the coming days and weeks, we'll see how government, health officials, and everyday citizens respond (the AMA went so far as to say gun violence is a "public health crisis") to continued critiques about all of these issues and more, I'm sure.
