Could a Lower Tax Burden Help.  The host for this show is Keli'i Akina.  The guest is Scott Grosskreutz.  

It’s no secret that Hawaii has a healthcare crisis. The state has a shortage of more than 700 physicians and more than 3,000 healthcare staff. Meanwhile, many patients report running into significant delays in finding the care they need. For residents of the neighbor islands, these delays can prove fatal. 

Dr. Scott Grosskreutz, who practices radiology on Hawaii Island and is an active member of the Hawaii Physician Shortage Crisis Task Force, joins host Keli’i Akina, president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute, to discuss what state lawmakers can do to address these dire concerns. 

On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' Akina and Grosskreutz discuss the state’s healthcare staff shortage, its general excise tax and medical licensing laws and what lawmakers can do to make Hawaii a safer and healthier place to live.
