A group of Oregon doctors are "Mad As Hell" about the current state of the U.S. healthcare system, or as some of them might say, the absence of one. Rubber gloves hit the road as the Mad As Hell doctors make their way across the country advocating for reform in their RV, the “CARE-a-Van”. They arrived in Bloomington late Saturday morning at the Farmers’ Market for a rally on the B-Line Trail, hosted locally by the advocacy group Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan. We hear from the Oregon Mad As Hell Doctors after a local speaker primes the crowd - Bud Kohr, former CEO of Bloomington Hospital for twenty-nine years, who rails against the misinformation circulating about healthcare reform in this WFHB radio exclusive.
