There needs to be more bi-partisan discussions like this on how to change the face of our deteriorating healthcare system. It doesn’t matter if its a Democrat or Republican idea, both parties need to come together to find a solution.

I am an attonrey married to obgyn. Last year his take home paywas 1.5 million. He paid 105k in liability premiums.
Knock ‘em dead, Ted! Oh, wait, that would be bad for their health, wouldn’t it?
