America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) is not a for-profit organization. AFLDS founder Simone Gold, MD, JD, FABEM, is a board-certified emergency physician and author of the new book “I Do Not Consent: My Fight Against Medical Cancel Culture.” She graduated from Chicago Medical School before attending Stanford University Law School to earn her Juris Doctorate degree. She completed her residency in Emergency Medicine at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York. Dr. Gold worked in Washington, D.C. for the Surgeon General, as well as for the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee. To learn more about America’s Frontline Doctors, visit americasfrontlinedoctors.com. Dr. Kevin Pham, MD, is a visiting policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation. Dr. Pham is a former graduate fellow in Heritage’s health policy team. Pham began medical school at the University of Toledo’s College of Medicine in 2013, shortly before the Affordable Care Act took effect on our health care system. His clinical years were characterized by the excellent teaching and education of his attending physicians, as well as their observations about all the changes in medicine they’ve seen. This convinced Dr. Pham after medical school to pursue an MBA in health systems to become better involved in public health and health policy. Robert E. Moffit is a senior fellow in Domestic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation. Moffit long has specialized in health care and entitlement programs, especially Medicare. He brings to the reform effort his government experience as a senior official of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Reagan administration. To achieve affordable health care, Moffit has urged policymakers to give Americans more direct control over their health care dollars, to eliminate barriers to personal choice in health care options, and to allow citizens to own private health plans. At the same time, he believes policymakers should limit government intervention in what should be a much freer and far more competitive health care market, and work to restore the traditional doctor-patient relationship. He is a co-author of “Why Obamacare Is Wrong for America,” (Harper Collins, 2011), which hit No. 4 on The Washington Post's best-seller list. He was a contributor to “A Time for Governing: Policy Solutions From the Pages of National Affairs” (Encounter Books, 2012). He contributed to “Controversial Issues in Social Policy” (Allyn and Bacon, 2003), a university textbook on public policy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Capitalism offers greater prosperity and opportunity for everyone, while socialism, unnecessary interventionism, and other choices promise equal outcomes but inevitably fail. The findings of The Heritage Foundation’s annual Index of Economic Freedom reaffirm the truth of this statement year after year. A complete government takeover of healthcare, for example, would mean less competition among providers and a greater degree of statist intervention that would translate into lower quality healthcare treatment systems, less research, and fewer innovations. Fortunately, it is not too late to fix or avoid these problems. Join us for a discussion with author and internationally recognized economist Daniel Lacalle and Robert E. Moffit, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Health Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
