10/4 Bill Clinton on Becoming Vegan

There is much focus right now in our country about healthcare, the cost of healthcare, how we are going to afford healthcare and how does the current Administration’s plan make sense?  I know that I do not understand enough about the nuances of how insurers, employers, providers and healthcare professionals function to even begin to […]
