Podcast appearances and mentions of jeffrey singer

Longtime surgeon and Cato Institute fellow Jeffrey Singer argues that government overreach in health care undermines patient autonomy.

Dr. Jeffrey Singer is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. He is the Founder of Valley Surgical Clinics, the largest and oldest private group surgical practice in Arizona. He has been in private practice as a general surgeon for more than 40 years. He is also a visiting fellow at the Goldwater Institute in Phoenix. Singer is a member of the Board of Scientific Advisors of the American Council on Science and Health. He writes and speaks extensively on regional and national public policy, with a specific focus on the areas of healthcare policy and the harmful effects of drug prohibition. In this episode Dr. Singer shares his extensive knowledge on the history of prohibition, then the crackdown on prescription drugs, and what a world with more legal drugs might look like. He busts a few myths too, and some of them will blow your mind because they're opposite what we hear on the news. Dr. Singer believes a much healthier world is available to us if we move away from prohibition, let doctors be doctors, and police be police, and allow adults to have more legal, regulated options for substance use.

They say the real source of fentanyl comes from legal immigrants at ports of entry, and argue that harder drug prohibition leads directly to harder drugs being manufactured.

Reclassifying marijuana.

In this episode of Health Care News, we delve into the recent revelation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that certain over-the-counter decongestants, specifically those labeled with "PE" (phenylephrine), are no more effective than a placebo. Our guest, Dr. Jeffrey Singer, a practicing surgeon from Phoenix, Arizona, and a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, sheds light on how these medications found their way onto store shelves.Dr. Singer traces the issue back to the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act (CMEA), enacted 18 years ago in response to the methamphetamine crisis. This legislation pushed pseudoephedrine, an effective decongestant, behind the counter, leading drug companies to modify their formulas to include PE for over-the-counter sales.Throughout the episode, Dr. Singer discusses several key points:The factors that led the FDA to reconsider its stance on over-the-counter decongestants.An overview of different decongestant drugs and tips for consumers to differentiate them.The process for purchasing pseudoephedrine, the effective decongestant.An exploration of why the FDA initially overlooked the ineffectiveness of PE.The sales strategies of drug manufacturers for OTC decongestants.Evaluating the CMEA's impact on the Meth epidemic.The potential for a class-action lawsuit against this misleading practice.The future: Is there a possibility that Congress will repeal the CMEA?For further insights, don't miss Dr. Singer's op-ed in Health Care News, linked in the episode description.

Pharmacists have sufficient training to autonomously prescribe medications to prevent or treat many medical conditions. But states generally require patients to obtain a doctor's prescription before purchasing pharmaceuticals. This restriction drives up health care costs and unnecessarily inconveniences patients, often when they are in distress. Canadian provinces, by contrast, give pharmacists a wide scope for prescribing pharmaceuticals, as Ross Tsuyuki will discuss. Alex Adams will explain recent pharmacist scope of practice reform in Idaho, Colorado, and Montana; Marc Joffe will provide an overview of relevant federal and state policies; and Dr. Jeffrey Singer will offer policy recommendations that could improve the patient experience while reducing health care costs.

The right-leaning advocacy organization, Building Americas Future, is initiating a sizable advertising investment across various swing states and potentially influential congressional districts ahead of the 2024 elections. This campaign is in response to the presumed menthol cigarette restrictions proposed by the Biden administration. Building Americas Future contends that this policy from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the potential to threaten billions in state revenues at the national level. A 2022 analysis by the Tax Foundation estimated that such limitations on menthol cigarette sales could result in a loss of about $1.9 billion for the federal government. For state governments, the loss is projected to be even more severe; they stand to lose an estimated $4.7 billion collectively due to the substantial taxes imposed on cigarettes. Jeffrey Singer, a senior research associate at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute, expressed his concern over the potential ban in an October report. He argued that the restriction has set into motion with probable damaging consequences due to the resultant growth in black market transactions for contraband products such as cigars, cigarettes, and illegal drugs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When things aren't going well, people always look for a scapegoat. When it comes to the opioid epidemic, the CDC's preferred scapegoat has been pharmaceutical companies. Meanwhile, the DEA blames doctors for over-prescribing pain medication, and has tightened regulations on the quantity that can be prescribed. As we've learned from Dr. Jeffrey Singer over the years, the crackdown on prescription opioids has missed the mark and made the problem worse: addicted patients have turned to the black market to satisfy their demand, and gotten hooked on far more dangerous drugs like illicit heroin and synthetic Fentanyl. Singer calls the misguided war on opioids a “war on pain patients” with no end in sight.More recently, Republican politicians have tried to score points against the Biden administration by scapegoating illegal immigrants for the problem of Fentanyl smuggling. Smuggling has indeed increased. However, a Washington Post op-ed by Cato scholars Singer and David Bier (associate director of immigration studies) reveals the folly of the Republicans' accusations. Illegal immigrants are not the ones bringing Fentanyl across the border, they note. It's mostly US citizens doing the smuggling. Ever since border enforcement has tightened, it has become more common for smugglers to conceal small amounts of the much more potent Fentanyl in otherwise legal border crossings.David and Jeff join the show of ideas to discuss the inevitable unintended consequences of both the war on drugs and the war on immigrants. We will investigate the issue from the angle of the failure of drug prohibition, as well as the failure of strict immigration policy. Both of these problems share a common root cause – they seek to interfere with free markets. The laws of supply and demand don't stop functioning just because an artificial legal boundary is erected – whether you're talking about drugs or people.The solution is simpler than you think – but first, we must assign the blame correctly. Will politicians examine their own role in creating the crisis, or will they continue to scapegoat innocent people?

We've seen a tragic record of over 100,000 overdoses in the US last year. The common narrative is that overzealous marketing by pharmaceutical companies and overprescribing of opioids by medical professionals created a new wave of individuals addicted to pills that then turned to heroin when the pill supply dried up. However, according to SAMHSA's data, rates of addiction in the general population didn't change at all. So, while overdoses have skyrocketed, the percentage of the population struggling with addiction has not, meaning that the data doesn't exactly match the common narrative. Dr. Singer is a physician and owner of a group surgical practice who has also become a Senior Fellow at The CATO Institute, advising on opioids, drug policy, and other topics. In this interview, he walks us through a lot of the data from SAMHSA, NIH, and other research to help us take another look at what's happening in our country around drug use and overdoses. It's an episode you won't want to miss.

Doctors Adriane Fugh-Berman and Jeffrey Singer debate the harms of prescription opioids

“Science,” it has been said, “advances one funeral at a time.” In other words, what was once heterodox only became accepted as orthodox truth when the defenders of the old paradigm died off, or could no longer maintain their position of authority in the face of clear new evidence.Dr. Jeffrey Singer – senior fellow at the Cato Institute and contributor to Reason Magazine – has been my go-to guest on topics of medical science since well before the pandemic. His latest article in the May 2022 edition of Reason takes on a set of philosophical questions about the nature of scientific truth, and how we arrive at it. In it, Singer contrasts what he calls the “Priesthood” acting as gatekeepers of information, with the sole authority to decide which experts can be heard. Using examples from the pandemic, such as the silencing and smearing of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, Singer points out how often the “official” narrative has been proven wrong by subsequent studies, such as those confirming that in fact lockdowns did little to slow the spread.Now, the California Assembly is debating a bill that would threaten doctors with the loss of their license for offering any medical advice that is considered contrary to official CDC guidelines regarding vaccination. As epidemiologist and noted COVID expert Jay Bhattacharya notes, the law would essentially take away a physician's ability to offer individualized care to their patients, who may have valid reasons (like prior immunity or other conditions) for not getting the vaccine.It appears that politics has infected our public discourse around science. Someone call the doctor! The Doctor for Liberty, that is. Singer joined me to separate the real experts from the phony high priests of the public health establishment.

Why is drug addiction so prevalent in the United States. Why should people, especially conservatives support harm reduction? Is Harm Reduction supporting drug use in disguise, or is it about meeting people where they actually are? What more can we do to save the lives of those afflicted by the scourge of drug addiction? In our interview we talk about successful efforts to help drug users, how to best fight addiction, why libertarians are the ones that actually care about the mentally ill, and much more.

Dr. Jeffrey Singer returned to the program to discuss his presentation at the Cato Institute on fresh approaches to the overdose crisis, that do not limit doctor's medical freedom or expand the failed War on Drugs.The narrative that doctors are getting people hooked on opioids is a myth, Singer says. Most people who are addicted and dying from overdoses are taking illegal fentanyl.In 2016, the CDC issued guidelines that made it much harder for doctors like Singer to prescribe appropriate doses of painkillers following surgeries. Since then, the guidelines have become law in many states, making them difficult to reverse despite an evolving consensus in which even the CDC has had to admit the folly of its original recommendations.What does a fresh approach to the opioid crisis look like? It begins with harm reduction, decriminalization, and treating people as responsible adults capable of making their own decisions about drugs – including in the context of a medical procedure.

In October 2020, Michael Cannon and Jeffrey Singer proposed ending the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's authority to decide which drugs are available only by prescription. Their solution: leaving the decision to the drugs' manufacturers. This Regulatory Transparency Project program featured Michael Cannon, former FDA official Joshua Sharfstein, and moderator Dan Troy discussing prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and who decides.Featuring:- Michael Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies, Cato Institute- Joshua Sharfstein, Vice Dean for Public Health Practice and Community Engagement, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University- [Moderator] Dan Troy, Chief Business Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, and General Counsel, ValoVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.

I discovered the Universal Laws on 11/25/2019. One of my teachers is named Michele Joy Elder. That beautiful redhead did a series called Soulmate Saturdays. I wanted to do my own version; however, have a deeper connection. This episode not only talk about the above. I use this as calling to AUTHENTIC Twin Flames. I want their stories told.

The Cato Institute is pleased to welcome Arizona governor Doug Ducey to the F. A. Hayek Auditorium this Thursday, October 14, from 2–3 p.m. for a panel discussion with Cato senior fellow Dr. Jeffrey Singer. “Happier and Healthier—Arizona's Success with Free Markets” will explore the state's leadership in public policies that seek to use free‐​market principles to improve the health care outcomes for its residents and how those policies might serve as a model for other states. Arizona has led with introducing first‐​in‐​the‐​nation telehealth reform and first‐​in‐​the‐​nation occupational licensure recognition; making better use of the health care expertise in the state workforce; combating the opioid crisis with proven solutions; and implementing a slate of executive actions that have made it easier to move to Arizona, get to work, access quality health care, and live a productive life.

With more than 500 million books sold, the Harry Potter series is far and away the highest-selling series of books in history. Though Rowling claims to be a Christian, and has said that her books are meant to expose the same truths as classic fantasies such as The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, many Christians have objected to the stories for their perceived promotion of witchcraft. And this raises questions about the nature of fantasy, and entertainment in general. Is there a difference between the witchcraft condemned in the Bible and what is depicted in these stories? And, if so, what? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Jeffrey Singer talk about the world of fantasy literature and entertainment in general, and how Christians should think about and approach these topics. “If we're going to use the word witchcraft, and we're going to condemn it, we need to make sure that the witchcraft written about by Rowling or Tolkein is the biblical witchcraft that is condemned in Scripture. I would argue strongly that it's not inline with any biblical definition of sorcery or witchcraft, even though they use the words witchcraft or wizardry.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Jeffrey Singer Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church Harry Potter The Lord of the Rings John Milton Andrew Peterson The Pilgrim's Progress John Piper J.K.

“Government‐imposed prescription requirements violate the rights of individuals to access the medicines they want.” - Dr. Jeffrey Singer and Michael F. Cannon, Drug Reformation: End Government's Power to Require Prescriptions | Cato InstituteThe libertarian argument for the right of bodily autonomy is simple. We own our bodies. Therefore, we should have the right to put whatever we choose into them.Until the 20th century, this was taken for granted. But as Singer and Cannon lay out in their expansive new white paper on ending government's power to require prescriptions, this right has been gradually eroded.The result is a more dangerous world, where consumers rely on untrustworthy institutions that restrict their choice and bypass more secure market mechanisms for determining safety and efficacy. Prescription drug companies rake in profits from their privileged legal status, and consumers suffer.How did we get here? Tune in Sunday, as Jeff “@Dr4Liberty” Singer returns to the show to break down his recommendations for reforming a broken system.

Join us for The Atlas Society Asks Jeffrey Singer. In addition to being a Senior Fellow at the CATO Institute and working in the Department of Health Policy Studies, Dr. Singer is the founder of Valley Surgical Clinics, Ltd., the largest and oldest group private surgical practice in Arizona. He has been in private practice as a general surgeon for more than 35 years. Tune in to hear what he has to say about healthcare and policy in the time of COVID.

Like clockwork, we are now seeing a modest spike in COVID-19 cases in states like Arizona, which mostly avoided the first wave of infections that hit big cities like NYC. The lockdown pre-empted many people from getting sick early only, flattened the curve, and delayed the inevitable. Now the spike in cases, and accompanying blip in fatalities, is being hyped by the media to stoke fear and continue lockdowns indefinitely.Dr. Jeffrey Singer is one of the handful of “voices of reason” I turn to during times like these. The founder of Valley Surgical Clinics in Arizona has joined my show many times to discuss the “seen versus the unseen” in areas like the opioid epidemic. The news tells us all about the overdoses, but never talks about those living with chronic pain who are denied necessary prescription painkillers from their doctors because of draconian regulations.Likewise, with COVID, we are seeing “Bastiat's Law” writ large across the entire economy.Jeff was recently interviewed by Reason's Nick Gillespie, in which he presented a case study in that which is seen vs. that which is unseen (COVID edition #1,427): "At first, [Singer] says, the idea was "flattening the curve," or slowing the rate of infection so medical providers were not overwhelmed by the number of cases. Now, he says, the discussion is about making sure no one gets infected, an unrealistic goal for a viral infection in the absence of a vaccine."Jeff and I pick up where they he and Nick left off – talking about the recent spike in Singer's home state of Arizona - and whether it's something to worry about relative to other causes of death, such as suicides caused by economic desperation, cancers gone undiagnosed or treated, or preventable diseases from children who are falling behind on their vaccination schedule. The last thing we need is a measles epidemic on top of COVID. We also discuss Jeff's recent article in the Washington Examiner and the unseen costs of one-size-fits-all government policy.Don't miss the live shows – Sundays, at 8am PACIFIC TIME - streaming live online and broadcasting on AM stations across the West Coast.

Dr. Jeffrey Singer is a general surgeon and a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute.
