His work in public policy has resulted in the Free To Choose Medicine plan, which was developed in journal articles published in Regulation, Cancer Biotherapy &amp; Radiopharmaceuticals, Medical Hypotheses, and Engage.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][section_header use_decoration=&#8221;1&#8243; layout_type=&#8221;section-heading-underlined&#8221; main_heading=&#8221;About the Author&#8221; font_size=&#8221;xlarge&#8221; color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1531411396324{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_column_text] Bartley J.
