Episode Description

Today, my Spotlight shines on my very knowledgable and very sought-after Guest, Richard Taite, Founder and CEO of Cliffside Malibu. On the heels of his excellent and informative interview about the opioid epidemic on 'Real Time With Bill Maher,' Richard sits down with me to discuss that topic, as well as the Affordable Care Act, Parity and Legislature issues around insurance and recovery that are seldom discussed openly in the healthcare space. Richard has tons of experience in this area, and is revered and respected as an expert on these topics. He was also featured in the documentary 'Prescription Thugs' released nationwide earlier this year, currently on Netflix and iTunes, as the preeminent addiction expert in the healthcare space. This is an episode that anyone working in Healthcare should be sure to tune in to hear.
