Very intriguing discussion of Sicko and US health care between Teri Gross and Dr. Oberlander.
I’ve heard many similar concerns over the years from my wife, a health care administrator, and doctors she’s worked with.
I believe in friendship but this guy is willing to drag down the administration with him.

Yesterday I told you about the ninth birthday of our second granddaughter Kelsey.
Today is our first granddaughter, Ashley’s tenth birthday.
