  • 12/17/20 HealthCare Independence
    Georgia & the Fate of the Nation's Health

    In the world of national politics, all eyes are on Georgia. Even more is at stake than the political party in charge of the Senate.

    GA voters are last line of protection for America’s health care independence.

    Docs 4 Patient Care was borne out of the frustration physicians were experiencing through the Affordable Care Act and the expansion of medicine by bureaucracy.

    Today, with the possibility of the Legislative and Executive branches of government coming under the control of the Democrats, we are facing the same political philosophy in charge again. The threat of socialized medicine is more real than ever before.

    Dr. Hal Scherz, host of the Doctor's Lounge, unpacks the issues as Georgia takes center stage.

  • 10/01/20 Two Paths for Healthcare
    The march toward the free market VS the march toward Socialism

    We've seen over the past six months the impact of fear when it comes to our health.

    Scott Barbour steps back into the Doctor's Lounge with the proposition - "This election is about whether or not we will have Socialized medicine"

    There are only 2 ways to allocate scarce resources

    1) Rationing by a government body

    2) free markets
