Dr. Fredricks’ talk centered on how the ACA infringes upon personal liberty and the Doctor-Patient relationship. Dr. Fredricks began by addressing the concept of liberty from the points of view of our nation’s founders, quoting the likes of Jefferson, Hamilton, and Franklin. Dr. Fredricks then applied this concept to the current healthcare climate.
Dr. Fredricks also gave brief updates on King v. Burwell, as well as other current legal challenges to the ACA. In the end, he provided some parting shots regarding how new practitioners should approach their careers in medicine given the political and economic climates.
