Mike Magee, MD, is host of Health Politics with Dr. Mike Magee, a weekly, Internet-based program that explores complex issues of health care policy and public health for consumers, policy makers, educators and the news media. In addition to his role as host of Health Politics, Dr. Magee is a Senior Fellow in the Humanities to the World Medical Association and director of the Pfizer Medical Humanities Initiative. As a passionate advocate for patients and their families, Dr. Magee believes that the health care system must address a number of major issues - or its ability to provide quality care for all will be compromised. In Health Politics: Power, Populism and Health, he examines a wide range of policy issues that, viewed collectively, are leading us toward major health care system changes and what he terms a new age of health populism.
