Dr. Don McCanne is a tireless worker on behalf of fundamental health care reform.

He is a retired physician who now devotes himself full time to fighting for change.

Dr. McCanne is passionate in his beliefs, yet he is a serious listener and believes that certain protocols must be observed in debate and in using our modern technological resources to further discussion.
