David Ruben on Health Care

 


Stop restricting how doctors can prescribe pain medication

Ruben practices psychiatry & pain management. He told the crowd that he was at the forefront of the fight to change state laws that restrict how doctors can prescribe pain medication.

Ruben called the new federal health care law a "wonderful thing and a great accomplishment of the Obama administration." He advocated for a health care system that would create incentives for people to take care of themselves as well as provide them with the medical coverage they needed.
