CMPI recently interviewed Wyoming Senator John Barrasso. Senator Barrasso is one of only two physicians currently serving in the United States Senate.
Having been an orthopedic surgeon since the early 1980’s, he is intimately familiar with the bureaucratic hurdles doctors encounter on a daily basis in their practice of medicine.
Senator Barrasso has been one of the more vocal critics of President Obama’s health care overhaul. In our interview with him, we discussed his vehement opposition to the nomination of Dr. Donald Berwick to CMS, the recent Medicare mailers, the reason for physician anger at the new law, and much more.
