New from Code WACK, A Banker in the Exam Room? The Growing Resistance to Medicare Privatization

from Nurse Talk · host Nurse Talk

What does it mean to “privatize” Medicare? What’s ACO-Reach? Why does it matter? Who’s for it, who’s against it, and why? Join host Brenda Gazzar and Ed Weisbart, MD, a retired family physician, former chief medical officer of Express Scripts and a national board member of Physicians for a National Health Program to get the low-down. Dr. Weisbart shines a revealing light on an issue that will impact the healthcare experience of almost every American aged 65 or older - the ongoing effort to give away Medicare to private, for-profit investors. Should health care be “just another way” for investors and shareholders to make money? Is a for-profit Fire Department just around the corner?
