The Obamacare Trainwreck…and the way out

About this episode

Christopher Briggs discusses the challenges of Obamacare and seeks solutions to improve healthcare coverage.

Our own Christopher Briggs has been on a crusade to save his daughter from, not only cancer, but also Obamacare, the disastrously expensive government health insurance program that also denied her coverage twice in a three-year period. What can be done to get the government out of the business of imposing medical serfdom on the American people? How can we escape the trainwreck that is the Affordable Care Act? This series is a father’s hunt for answers.... Guest: Michael Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies, Cato Institute.
