Dr. Jeffrey Barke, M.D.:

America’s Frontline Doctor, Dr. Jeff Barke, a board-certified primary care doctor based in Newport Beach, California, a former elected school board member, and co-founder and chair of a free public charter school in Orange County, has treated dozens of COVID patients, and not one of the patients has needed hospitalization. He emphasizes the need for us to stop creating unnecessary fear in children stating that it is far more damaging than the virus itself. Please click HERE to listen to the important message he delivered at our White Coat Summit II, Washington D.C., 10/16.

Dr. Barke co-founded PersonalCare—the first primary care concierge medical group in Southern California. He saw a need for a new model based on spending more one-on-one time with patients and using in-depth diagnostic technology in order to create a more personalized wellness plan and more coordinated emergency care.

Inga James - Heartly House

Our community is facing an unprecedented situation right now, and there is understandably a great deal of anxiety and confusion. With the quickly moving events, I have created this update so that you are informed of how Heartly House is responding.

As a trauma informed organization, we here at Heartly House know that one of the best ways to reduce anxiety is to practice gratitude, so I’d like to share some of the things I’m grateful for today. First, I am gratified that Heartly House has been able to ensure that all staff will not lose income, as have many in our community. Also, we are fortunate to be able to make accommodations for employees at high risk and those who need to care for out-of-school children.

Dr. Kevin Pham, MD, is a visiting policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation. Dr. Pham is a former graduate fellow in Heritage’s health policy team.

Pham began medical school at the University of Toledo’s College of Medicine in 2013, shortly before the Affordable Care Act took effect on our health care system.

His clinical years were characterized by the excellent teaching and education of his attending physicians, as well as their observations about all the changes in medicine they’ve seen. This convinced Dr. Pham after medical school to pursue an MBA in health systems to become better involved in public health and health policy.

Robert E. Moffit is a senior fellow in Domestic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation.

Moffit long has specialized in health care and entitlement programs, especially Medicare. He brings to the reform effort his government experience as a senior official of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Reagan administration.

To achieve affordable health care, Moffit has urged policymakers to give Americans more direct control over their health care dollars, to eliminate barriers to personal choice in health care options, and to allow citizens to own private health plans.  At the same time, he believes policymakers should limit government intervention in what should be a much freer and far more competitive health care market, and work to restore the traditional doctor-patient relationship.

He is a co-author of “Why Obamacare Is Wrong for America,” (Harper Collins, 2011), which hit No. 4 on The Washington Post's best-seller list. He was a contributor to “A Time for Governing: Policy Solutions From the Pages of National Affairs” (Encounter Books, 2012). He contributed to “Controversial Issues in Social Policy” (Allyn and Bacon, 2003), a university textbook on public policy.
