James Golden speaks with Dr. Peter Michalos regarding the systemic failures of American healthcare and the search for viable alternatives to the current model. Dr. Michalos argues that Obamacare and corporate consolidation have damaged the physician-patient relationship by introducing high deductibles, excessive administrative burdens, and middleman interference.

The conversation also touches on the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that a lack of early antiviral treatments and a focus on mandate-driven policies contributed to current public health challenges and medical distrust.
