November 30th, 2013 - I asked Congressman Michael C. Burgess, MD about his plan to address a perennial health care problem, the fact that, Medicare is in financial trouble. Congress always proposes to save money in the program by (1) eliminating fraud and (2) by reducing reimbursements to doctors but, those things never happen. In the second half of the show I discussed how previous government advice to eat a lot of starch led to our current epidemic of obesity and diabetes. I explained the low glycemic diet plus a capsule, Gluc-aloe, that helps achieve weight loss and improves blood sugar levels.
