Episode Segments

The Business of Medicine: The Cancer in Healthcare


Our guest Dr. Waldman has been the head of Pediatric Cardiology at three separate Children’s Hospitals, among them the University of Chicago. He loved restoring health to very sick children. He retired because he got fed up with the insurance companies telling him how to practice medicine and the government bureaucracy telling him how to run his medical practice.



He now sits on the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange Board —the board charged with setting up the health exchanges under Obamacare in New Mexico. He is seeing first-hand how greedy bureaucracy is killing what we love.
