Former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona

From 2002 to 2006, Richard Carmona served as our country’s 17th U.S. Surgeon General, educating Americans on the importance of preparing for natural and other disasters, the dangers of secondhand smoke, and the disparities in our country on diseases such as AIDS and diabetes. Today Richard Carmona is on a mission to raise public awareness of Chronic Disease, and he's in New Hampshire this week to get that issue on the presidential primary radar. We’ll talk about that – and, Carmona’s recent public statements – that as Surgeon General, he was often barred from speaking on controversial health issues like stem cell research and sex education.
