How to REALLY Reform U.S. Healthcare
President Biden last week unveiled a tough talking executive order that included some healthcare reform initiatives. Biden deserves an A on rhetoric but a D on concrete measures. Here are some efforts that should be considered as part of any serious attempt to overhaul America’s dysfunctional healthcare industry and improve patient care for all Americans.
Beware of Spine Surgeons!!!
