"Interactions with patients are now transactional versus relational. There are no longer relationships that are built on mutual trust and compassion. This is not only affecting the quality of care, it's being provided by our patients, but its's leading to burnout among physicians because they didn't go into medicine to have a 15 minute transaction where I provide you with whatever you want. I'm not your barista, I'm your physician."

"One of the biggest regulations that's under attack right now is conscience protection for health care workers, and that if a physician, doctor, other health care workers have a moral objection is performing certain procedures, such as abortion, euthanasia, gender reassignment surgery, that they cannot allow their either religious beliefs or deeply held conscience beliefs to interfere with that service being provided."
