BRI Virtual Speaker Series – Ridding Health Care of Identity Politics with Stanley Goldfarb, MD

Partisanship and health care make poor bedfellows. Yet identity politics increasingly finds its way into the exam room. New federal rules now give doctors financial incentives to ask patients questions tied to so-called “social determinants of health”—questions that have little to do with medicine and everything to do with politics. Join us for a frank conversation with Dr. Stanley Goldfarb about how this shift threatens patient trust, medical integrity, and the proper role of physicians.
