Title: Is the Government Taking Over Medicine?
Topic: Government Controlled Healthcare
Discussed by Dr. Kristin Held
with Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.aapsonline.org)
When Medicare and Medicaid were created, the government promised not to interfere in the practice of medicine in any way. President Lyndon Johnson signed the Act into law on July 30, 1965, ironically in Independence, MO. But is this still true today?

and is Co-Founder of American Doctors 4 Truth.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)? Dr. Held compares this program to communist China. Listen in to the scary details!
Would a physician be given a “bad MIPS grade” if they accepted patients with severe medical issues who they just could not help?
Will all physicians be subjected to the MIPS system?
Listen as Dr. Held explains the MIPS scoring card, which is directed and executed by bureaucrats.
Does the scoring system penalize physicians who do not report their patient’s entire medical records to the government?
Is the government changing medical terminology to make things like “physician assisted suicide” sound more appealing?
Does China really collect information on their citizens to determine who is worthy of life and who is not?
Are more and more doctors opting to change their practice to “cash only” to avoid the hassle with medical insurance?
Is the government attempting to stop “cash only” medical practices by using the MIPS scoring system?

Title: Trump, the MSM, and Obamacare
Topic: Obamacare
Discussed by Dr. Kristin Held
with Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.aapsonline.org)
Part 1 of 2
Economist Thomas Sowell has stated, “It is amazing that people
who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow
think we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication, and a government
bureaucracy to administer it.”
Listen in as new guest from the AAPS Dr. Kristin Held sheds some light
on how left-leaning journalists are influenced by politicians, which has in turn
influenced the opinion of millions of Americans concerning issues such as
Obamacare. Dr. Held is also the co-founder of
American Doctors 4 Truth.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are journalists and reporters free to report the facts? Or are they controlled
by the propaganda claw of who pays the salaries of the journalist and/or
reporter?
With Donald Trump the President-Elect, are main-stream journalists/reporters
already focused on “borking” him?
Listen in as Dr. Kristin Held discusses pre-existing conditions and how they
“really” affect insurance coverage. Is it “fair” to get health insurance after
you’ve been diagnosed with a debilitating disease?
What is so wrong with mandated benefits?
President-Elect Donald Trump promised repeatedly during his campaign that he
would repeal Obamacare. In Dr. Held’s opinion, has Trump changed his tune?
Should Congress scratch Obamacare and start over? Or should they keep some
aspects while removing others?
Are the government mandates within Obamacare beneficial or unnecessary?
What is the true number of people who are actually paying for health insurance?
How many now receive Medicaid?

Questions/Issues Discussed:
In this second segment with Dr. Held, she discusses the people who have not –
and will not – purchase health insurance, not matter what.
Are direct-pay doctors a better bet for many patients? Are Health Savings
Accounts worth getting?
