James Golden speaks with Dr. Peter Michalos regarding the systemic failures of American healthcare and the search for viable alternatives to the current model. Dr. Michalos argues that Obamacare and corporate consolidation have damaged the physician-patient relationship by introducing high deductibles, excessive administrative burdens, and middleman interference.
