TS Radio: Hospice Survivors and Victims w/ Carly Walden & Dr Marilyn Singleton

We are very grateful to have Dr. Marilyn Singleton as our guest this evening.  Dr. Singleton is going to discuss the coercive nature that Medicare really has become; as well as how it’s every man or woman for themselves. How can we protect ourselves in this dangerous system? In a day when the elderly have become frightened of their own physicians, and terrified of being hospitalized for fear of never returning home, this is a conversation that is sorely needed.
