Both Democrats and Republicans agree that we have a health care crisis, with high costs and poor outcomes.  This week, a fired-up Dr. Prather talks about a proven solution to this crisis.  In this episode, you'll discover:

—How America spends the most on health care, but has the worst outcomes when compared to all other industrialized nations.

20% of all females over the age of 50 have Osteoporosis.  This week, Dr. Prather talks about how the Osteoporosis medications actually INCREASE the number of fractures in patients.  In this episode, we talk about:

—Why the pharmaceutical approach to Osteoporosis, which focuses on increasing bone density, doesn’t mean that denser bones are stronger or more flexible.
