• We all knew that our system needed reform. Obamacare is not reform; it is a fundamental transformation of American's healthcare system to the socialized medicine model of Great Britain.
• Obamacare is not fixable. Look across the pond and to the VA system and realize the flaw in the systems have been known for years and have not been fixed. Government is not efficient or competent in managing healthcare. Waiting lists are rationing mechanisms.
• Third-party contracts are the major distortion to our healthcare system whether they are Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance.

So where do we go from here? Join us to find out!
