Manage episode 518876222 series 3574249
Former Congressman and OB-GYN Dr. Michael Burgess joins Working Healthcare for a candid conversation about what’s really happening behind the scenes in American healthcare and what it’ll take to fix it. From ACA subsidies and Medicare reform to PBMs, 340B programs and physician-owned hospitals, Dr. Burgess shares insider insight from both the delivery room and the House floor.
He and host Meredith Hirsh dive into how government shutdowns impact care, why health savings accounts (HSAs) and direct primary care models could empower patients and what needs to change to bring costs down without sacrificing access or quality. Dr. Burgess doesn’t hold back as he talks about politics, policy and the future of independent medicine in a system increasingly run by big corporations and red tape.
