Segment 2 & 3 – Catholic Medical Association Disappointed After Proposed Removal of Federal Conscience Protection for Health Care Professionals
“With this proposed regulation, the Biden Administration has taken yet another action of blatant government overreach. In 2019, federal regulations were enacted that protected medical professionals from unfounded discrimination if they declined participation in actions contrary to their moral or ethical principles. This protection is at risk of being destroyed with the Biden Administration’s Health and Human Services proposal to rescind these constitutionally sound principles.”

He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the North American Spine Society. Dr. Millea is an active member of Catholic Medical Association (CMA).
