This is a repost of the interview done with Gubernatorial candidate James "Duke" Aiona . As he is the Republican candidate for Governor in the general election, this podcast interview will give our members insight into Mr. Aiona's positions on healthcare in Hawaii.

This episode is co-sponsored by HMA and the Hawaii State Rural Health Association as part of our Gubernatorial Candidate Series. Candidates were given the opportunity to answer questions posed by members of both organizations, providing the community an introduction to the candidates and their positions on healthcare issues which affect physicians, patients and community health.  Each episode begins with an opening statement from the candidate, followed by a question and answer section and the candidate’s closing remarks.
