New Mexico remains in the midst of a medical provider shortage.
While the State Legislature’s record of addressing the issue is at best mixed, the issue is by no means limited to the Land of Enchantment. Government at all levels has hindered the practice of medicine in the United States and New Mexico alike. Michael Cannon will share his thoughts and insights on some of the most serious issues facing health care nationally and right here in New Mexico. How can federal and state governments improve health care policies and in turn make care both more affordable and available? Join us to discuss!
