Dr. Hieb- To Restore & Preserve Private Practice in Medicine

On this edition of MediTalk, our guest will be the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons' President Lee Hieb, M.D.   Dr. Hieb joined AAPS when she realized that other medical societies didn't have her best interest in mind:

"I used to belong to a number of medical societies. One day I realized that the prime goal of my specialty society was to maintain my specialty’s government reimbursements. And, they do this by using my dues to send a representative to fight against the representatives of other specialty societies whose members have funded them through their dues! That is ultimately an absurd use of my hard earned income. So I only belong to AAPS which, for over 60 years, has stood on the principles I believe in—individual liberty, personal responsibility and the type of limited government that consistutionally has no authority to involve itself in the practice of medicine."

Dr. Hieb will discuss with us why she and the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons fight to restore and preserve the private practice of medicine.
