On August 21, 2009, I interviewed Dr. Jeffrey Glassheim about President Obama's pending health care reform bills in Congress. Dr. Glassheim is an allergist and immunologist at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in Neenah, Wisconsin, who treats both children and adults. He is also an assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

Then on August 25, 2009, I interviewed Dr. Pamela Galloway, asking the same questions as I had asked Dr. Glassheim four days earlier.  Dr. Galloway received her M.D. from the Medical College of Virginia and completed a residency in general surgery at Akron City Hospital in Akron, Ohio. In 2003 she established her practice in Wausau, Wisconsin, under the name, “Breast Center of Central Wisconsin,” where she specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Both interviews ranged over such topics as what should our nation's medical care system be, what is your reaction to the widespread opposition to a government takeover of our health care system at congressional town halls, what is the impact of medicare and medicaid patients on doctors' practices at present, what would the impact be on our health care system if additional tens of millions of patients receive coverage at Medicare rates of reimbursement, what is your opinion of the so-called bipartisan compromise with “health care cooperatives” in place of the “public option,” and what do you recommend that voters tell their representatives and senators.
