My guest in this episode is the lovely and amazing Dr. Michael Brady. Michael is a very important Doctor within the UK's NHS and husband to celebrity hairstylist Mathew Soobroy. In April 2019 Michael was appointed as the first ever National Advisor for LGBTQ+ Health with the aim being to reduce health inequalities for LGBTQ+ communities and improve their experience of health and social care. After studying Medicine in Nottingham and moving around the UK with the NHS, he ended up at the Kings College Hospital in Brixton, South London, as a HIV and sexual health consultant. Michael eventually became clinical lead for Sexual Health services at Kings College Hospital and also a trustee of the Terrence Higgins Trust (the largest HIV and sexual health charity in Europe) where in 2007 he was appointed as their first Medical Director. I met Michael in my home in London to chat about his life, HIV and why he took on his newly created role for the UK.

Podcast Notes 11/6/19 On today's episode we talked about a few main issues: Elizabeth Warren might "halve" the Stock Market Women are starting their own businesses at an amazing rate Apple is entering the affordable housing market UK's NHS is experiencing drastic wait times for patients We've stated this in several "opinion" pieces before, but now stock market analysts are weighing in on the left's terrible tax strategies. Anthony Scaramucci weighed in with Yahoo Finance on the notion that Warren's Wealth Tax, Stock Trade Tax, and Net Investment Income tax are going to be detrimental to the US Stock Market. Scaramucci stated that the market is likely to be cut in half if Warren is elected president. Marketwatch noted that women are starting their own "Sidepreneur" companies at an unprecedented rate. One of the major benefits of a side hustle being that you can still keep your normal job, and make money on the side. It's an amazing time to be alive, folks. Starting a business has never been safer or easier. Apple has announced a $2.5 billion investment into housing in California. Over the past 15 years, California experienced a housing shortage totaling 3.5 million homes. Apple has decided to reinvest in the area they call home. Offering financing to first-time home buyers, and low income individuals. Thank you, Capitalism. The biggest benefit is the fact that this money is value backed, not debt or printed money like what would usually come from such programs offered by the government. Finally, we discussed a story from Fox News noting historic healthcare wait times in the UK. The report on the government-run NHS system in England, released last month, details increased wait times for services ranging from emergency room visits to cancer care. And the study reports historic waiting lists totaling over 4.5 million people, up 40 percent in five years, for treatment with specialists. "Cancer waiting times are the worst on record," the report also declares. Turns out that everything being "free" comes with a price. The price? Long wait times, and sub-standard care. This is basic economics, people. You mandate that healthcare has to be expensive through regulations, and then you mandate that the prices be controlled through regulations. This has equalled less people entering the market for healthcare services, including Pharma companies, Doctors, and Nurses. Plans like Warren and Sanders' "Medicare for All" is destined to bring the same sub-standard care to the US.

  Debate rages in the United States about whether we should alter our medical system gradually. Or maybe adopt a health system like the NHS of the UK. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find people who can honestly talk about what it's like working as a doctor in the NHS and the US medical system. However, I have the great fortune of speaking to someone who can speak on authority working as a primary care doctor in both.   Dr. Clodagh Ryan is my guest this week. Dr. Ryan is native to Ireland where she did medical school and training in family medicine. She practiced as a primary care doctor (GP) for a few years in Ireland.  There she worked within the UK's NHS (in Northern Ireland) and the Irish national health system.   She then emigrated to the United States where she completed a family medicine residency. She practiced family medicine in a traditional insurance-based practice for 8 years before opening up her own direct primary care practice.   Because of her experience working within all these systems, she is the perfect guest to contrast and compare how the health systems work. Dr. Ryan also has most of her family still in Ireland so she can comment about what the system looks like through the lens of a patient too.   Not surprisingly, there are concerning things to be considered all these medical systems. The primary concern that struck me most was that she believes there is more suffering in the UK and Irish health systems because of delays in treatment. Sometimes this just means 12-24 hour waits in the ER if you don't have a life threatening condition like a broken bone. Other times, you have to find ways to deal with pain and illnesses that take months to be treated appropriately.   However, there are some aspects of the system that are better like more compact notes instead of the gigantic data monstrosities that today's US EHRs produce. And then there are some things that look similar to the US system. These include fighting administrators to get tests or imaging done just like we fight insurers for prior authorization.   Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of health care in Ireland and the UK is the inability for people to develop different ways of delivering care. In the US, direct primary care is becoming more popular as both patients and physicians see the value of this innovation. Rigid top down systems of delivering care managed through national budgets and decided by politicians squashes innovation.  Therefore, patients and physicians both suffer.   Dr. Clodagh Ryan is native to Ireland and a family practice physician. She currently owns and runs Cara Direct Care medical clinic in suburban Chicago. show notes Cara Direct Care: Dr. Clodagh Ryan's direct primary care practice in La Grange, Illinois (suburban Chicago).

  National health care policy is always at the forefront of the political discussion in the US but even more so now that the 2020 presidential race is beginning to heat up. Democratic candidates are offering their visions of what the US system should look like and point to other countries in the world as examples of superior structures. One held up as better than the US is the United Kingdom and its National Health Service (NHS). But is it better than what we have here?   My guest today is Philip Booth, a professor in finance, public policy, and ethics at St. Mary's University in Twickenham, UK and a senior academic fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs. He has written extensively on the health care policy in the UK and is able to provide an historical perspective on the UK system and how it differs from the US and the rest of continental Europe. In today's discussion, we examine whether the UK system is really a beacon to be held up by US politicians and what other national systems are in the world that may be better or worse.   Not surprisingly, the conclusion we arrive at is that the NHS is hardly a system that we should strive to emulate in the US - much like the US system with its runaway costs is one other countries should copy either. In a gallows humor moment Dr. Booth describes how the survey touted by many pointing to the NHS' superiority as a system notes only one downside - that the UK is last in mortality.   Dr. Philip Booth is a senior academic fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs and professor of finance, public policy, and ethics at St. Mary's College in Twickenham, UK.   show notes Catholic Social Teaching and the Market Economy: Dr. Booth's book in the free online version. Here is the synopsis: Throughout history, but particularly in the last century or so, the Catholic Church has developed a formal body of teaching on economic and political matters. Other Christian faiths have absorbed much of that work, as have non-Christians, and thus the body of Catholic Social Teaching has often been influential in the public policy arena. This volume, taking account of recent developments in both political economy and Catholic Social Teaching, examines the extent to which that teaching can be used to justify the free market, or alternative forms of political and economic organisation, in areas such as taxation, welfare, foreign aid, labour markets, finance and the environment. It also critically examines the general case for an interventionist state in the economic sphere, as well as the importance of the development of a culture of responsibility., underpinned by sound education, in a free society. Institute for Economic Affairs: The IEA is the UK's original free-market think-tank, founded in 1955. Its mission is to improve understanding of the fundamental institutions of a free society by analysing and expounding the role of markets in solving economic and social problems.
