008 Discussing Healthcare: Politics and Healthcare – An Objection to the Affordable Care Act (part 1 of 2)

Summary: John Ammon, MD joins me for a discussion about the future of healthcare in the United States.  He is a practicing anesthesiologist who is actively involved in the debate about healthcare that is ongoing in our country.  Dr. Ammon has strong opinions about the Affordable Care Act.  He believes that the Affordable Care Act is not healthcare reform, rather a law that gives the government a stronghold on almost 20% of the economy.  He is involved in Docs 4 Patient Care, an organization of concerned physicians committed to the establishment of a health care system that preserves the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship, promotes quality of care, supports affordable access to all Americans, and protects patients' freedom of choice. Dr Ammon can be found on Twitter. His Twitter handle @DrJ4PatientCare. You can find out more about Docs4PatientCare at Docs4PatientCare.org
