88 min. Health Care Reform: Setting Doctors Free

In this talk, John David Lewis shows that government medicine treats doctors as cogs in a giant machine, run from Washington, as if treating patients required no independent thought or action. Twenty-eight states have filed suit against Obamacare, claiming it is unconstitutional. But it is much worse than that. It is a moral assault on a free people, and an attack on human life itself. Dr. Lewis has a unique perspective on this issue, both as an advocate for individual rights and as a cancer patient. Don’t miss this hard-hitting lecture on the deepest evil of government medicine. This talk was recorded in Chicago on May 24, 2011, as part of the ARC Speaker Series.
