‘Medicare for All ... Is Going to Destroy the Quality of Medicine That We Have,’ Lawmaker Says

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Rep. Jim Hagedorn of Minnesota is passionate about health care policy. His state is home to the headquarters of the Mayo Clinic, which he calls "the preeminent institution of medicine in all the world." Hagedorn also is receiving cancer treatment at the Mayo Clinic following a diagnosis of kidney cancer. We discuss health care policy and why Medicare for All isn’t the answer.

Plus, former Representative Dave Brat joins the show to talk about his transition from the public sector to the private sector, and his perspective on the education system given his new role as the Dean of Liberty University’s School of Business.

We also cover these stories:

  • The World Health Organization says that the coronavirus is now a pandemic.
  • The house is expected to vote on a coronavirus package today.
  • Cronavirus is only “going to get worse,” according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who directs the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and is member of the President Donald Trump’s task force on coronavirus.
