If there were a Jeopardy game with questions about health care Dr. Vince Markovchick would select “Fraud for $500” or “Waste for $1000” and score every time. US heath care is in shambles, costing double that in comparable nations but serving fewer people and having worse outcomes. Having amassed a huge war chest, the private health industry profiteers are bribing politicians to thwart meaningful reforms and a switch to single payer health care. But we still have ways to fight back.

Vince Markovchick, MD, is a retired physician and professor who practiced and was a director at Denver Health for 32 years. Among other honors he is past President of the American Board of Emergency Medicine. He is now working pro bono for the ‘Health Care for All Colorado Foundation’ and ‘Physicians for a National Health Program’. Join Dr. Markovchick at JUC for this important conversation.
