On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck Woolery and Mark Young invite Dr. Kris Held back onto the show to discuss the future of healthcare reform now that Trump is in office. They talk about what went wrong with the recent bill that went through Congress and what President Trump and the rest of America needs to do to get a workable, affordable system in place for the country. It’s a critical issue that citizens must act on to prevent the government and insurance companies from controlling your health.
Kris Held, M.D. is a board-certified ophthalmologist and ophthalmic surgeon who is in private practice in San Antonio and maintains an academic affiliation as a Clinical Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
