For years the health insurance industry has been increasingly dictating the quality and quantity of medical treatments. High insurance premiums, co-pays, and out-of-pocket deductibles are squeezing patients out of the market. Even so, physicians and patients begrudgingly acquiesced. Now, not only is private equity taking over the healthcare industry, but the administrative state is making it hard for physicians to serve their patients fully satisfactorily for both parties.
The Oath of Hippocrates has upheld the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship for thousands of years. Mandates intrude into that relationship. Mandates rely on coercion rather than informed consent. Various laws in, particularly in California, are squelching choice for patients and free speech for physicians even with threats of loss of their licenses. Consequently, patients are losing their choice in medical treatment.
For example, many colleges have mandated Covid vaccines, even in the face of mounting evidence of an association with myocarditis (heart inflammation). California now has an immunization registry invading our privacy. Another law would punish physicians for telling their patients Covid “misinformation” – a term that is about as clear as mud.
The silver lining? Medical tyranny has gone so far that more and more patients and physicians are becoming activists.
Today’s guest is one of those physicians who is taking to the streets to reclaim medicine for patients and physicians.
