Physicians for a National Health Program

Congress has failed to repeal or replace the Accountable Care Act. In fact polls indicate the Act has become more appealing to Americans.

Dr. Carol Paris, President of the Board of Directors of Physicians for a National Health Program, will discuss a single payer alternative on this edition of Line One: Your Health Connection.
