Do No Harm-Health Professionals Stand up
Against Killing of Health Care Reform


After two decades of ever rising health care cost, pulling numerous American families into financial ruin, causing Americans to elect a president who made health care reform a key plank in his platform, and caused the nation’s largest health insurers and pharmaceutical companies to work out a deal before one was made for them. Now, as the legislation begins to takes shape, the same forces that doomed President Bill Clinton’s effort nearly two decades ago with such attack lines as, …“It cost too much”… “It’s one step away from Communism…” … “Here comes big, wasteful government again to tinker with your freedom of choice”…

To bring some clarity to this debate, and also a local perspective on a national issue, Random Lengths interviewed three of San Pedro’s own health care professionals, which includes:

Dr. Melford Wyman–– A pioneering cardiologist who began practicing in San Pedro in 1959. He retired in 2002. Currently, Dr. Wyman is a member of Physicians for Social Responsibility and Physicians for a National Health Program and a tireless advocate for single-payer health coverage. Check out Random Lengths News footage of Dr. Wyman speaking on single payer health care.
