Merrill Matthews, PhD

from Dr. Tommy Show Hosted by Tommy McElroy

AS OBAMACARE TURNS SIX, ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE SIX YEARS AGO? Dr. Merrill Matthews joins the show to discuss the 6th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act and whether or not it has lived up to the promises made by its proponents. As large insurance companies pull out of exchanges across the country, will Obamacare provisions be sustained? Was the ACA a set-up for a larger government healthcare intervention? Also discussed is the importance of political involvement of healthcare professionals and how they can influence the direction of health policy in America. And find out how you too can earn a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Merrill Matthews, Ph.D., is a resident scholar with the Institute for Policy Innovation, a research-based, public policy “think tank.” He is a health policy expert and weekly contributor at Forbes.com. He also serves as Vice Chairman of the Texas Advisory Committee of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Learn more about Dr. Matthews at http://IPI.org
