Synopsis

By Katie Watson and Jason Hart | Watchdog Radio Code Blue is Watchdog Radio’s weekly look at heath issues, ranging from the latest public health debates to small government views on health care reform. Medicaid and Medicare are breaking the budgets of states and the federal government, but there are other options out there. Is Obamacare the best we can do? In this week's episode, hosts Katie Watson and Jason Hart take a deep-dive into the so-called "Doc Fix" bill approved by Congress last week. It's not exactly fixing some of the underlying issues with Medicaid, which continues to be billions of dollars in the red, but at least it will put an end to annual fights over how doctors are reimbursed for their services.
