By Marilyn M. Singleton, MD, JD After the election, sappy statements on social media exhort us to bow down in praise that the first minority this or the first woman that was elected and how this means we have catapulted our nation out of the Neanderthal era. Funny how no one mentions Young Kim’s victory […]
Last week the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services finalized more than 2,000 pages of rules for the Medicare program’s operation in 2019. We don’t have to remind you, the doctors on the front lines, that such overregulation is a chief reason American medicine is sick. However, because you are supporting AAPS and speaking out, […]
Politicians promise to lower costs and assure quality medical care, but voters need to beware. Here are some common misconceptions about Medicare for All: Myth: Medicare for All would get rid of profiteering insurance companies and thereby save billions.
