SUMMARY:Day of Solidarity: Bringing awareness to the physician and medical student suicide epidemic
DESCRIPTION:Prevent Physician Suicide Click here to see the schedule for an event near you. \nImagine your excitement as a parent getting ready to attend your child’s graduation from medical school. Instead\, you attend his funeral–yet another medical student suicide victim.And statistics show no improvement even when a medical student becomes a doctor.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccording to Ashley Maltz\, MD and Pamela Wible\, MD:\n\n\n“Medical student and physician suicide is an epidemic. It is estimated that 400 doctors die by suicide in the United States each year. That’s the equivalent of an entire medical school gone! The second leading cause of death among medical students is suicide–a well-known occupational hazard in medicine. Yet no medical organization is tracking these suicides. Why? And how can we solve a problem when it’s hidden from us?” \n\nLacey Kohlmoos\, an Online Organizing Strategist at Care2 Petitions and wife of a 4th year medical student\, is championing National Day of Solidarity to Prevent Physician Suicide in Philadelphia on Saturday\, August 20th to bring awareness to this dire situation.\n\nFind a National Day of Solidarity event near you! \nThis event is also happening simultaneously in 11 cities across the country\, each with its own lineup of speakers and activities\, in case you can not make it to Philadelphia:\nAthens\, OH\nAustin\, TX\nChicago\, IL\nCleveland\, OH\nDublin\, OH\nHarrogate\, TN\nKansas City\, MO\nMiddletown\, NY\nPhiladelphia\, PA\nSaint Louis\, MO\nWashington\, DC\n\nThe more awareness we raise\, the more we can speak with one voice–a voice of solidarity–to find the root causes of physician and medical student suicide\, and promote solutions to turn the tide.\n\nFulfilling a life’s passion to care for others shouldn’t mean personal suffering–or worse.

SUMMARY:ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: What About the Poor? How to Win the Healthcare Debate Without Selling Your Soul
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Beth Haynes\, BRI executive director delivered a talk at the 2016 ATLAS Summit @ Freedom Fest\, What About the Poor? How to Win the Debate Without Selling Your Soul. \nIn order to engage those who are skeptical but potentially persuadable to free market ideas\, we need to answer concerns about what happens to society’s most disadvantaged in a powerful\, truthful and compelling way. This is a major concern of young people\, who frequently have a strong desire to help others\, but who are typically economically ignorant and think with their hearts. In order to reach them we need to address their concerns without compromising on our fundamental principles. Come learn what tactics are working with students and are applicable to a much broader audience.

SUMMARY:ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: Engaging Our Future Physicians
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Beth Haynes\, BRI executive director\, delivered a talk at ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: Engaging Our Future Physicians. \nIt is important that we undertake the task of engaging our future physicians. What are they learning about health policy? Given the state of higher education today\, it’s no surprise that health policy instruction at medical schools is government-centric. But what is surprising is how little formal policy instruction students receive\, which presents a great opportunity to interject the voice of reason into the conversation. Benjamin Rush Institute is doing exactly that. In just the fall semester of 2016\, we reached 1300 medical student5s. Come hear how we are presenting the ideas of individual rights and limited government in a way that even liberal medical students are wiling to consider these alternatives.

SUMMARY:ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: What Insurance Is and Isn't—Getting Medical Costs Under Control
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Beth Haynes\, BRI executive director\, delivers a talk at ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: What Insurance Is and Isn’t—Getting Medical Costs Under Control. \nThere is much talk about how to control medical costs. Medical inflation continues to outpace general inflation. Why this is happening has much to do with the fact that what is called “health insurance” really isn’t insurance. We argue that coerced wealth distribution is immoral\, but this argument does not resonate with everyone. Being abel to also argue the economic aspects of healthcare can strengthen your ability to make the case for freedom in medical care. Come learn about the nature of insurance\, what it is and isn’t\, why current health policy is doomed to fail\, and what better alternatives exist.

SUMMARY:@NEJM: Ask the Author & Experts: Physician Payment After Medicare Doc Fix
DESCRIPTION:The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) forum held a 40-minute taped Google hangout with panel participants. There was a lot of heated debate about the free market between Josh Umbehr\, AtlasMD and the other panelists. Kristy Hawley\, former chapter president of BRI-Georgetown\, was the student moderator for the online debate. Ms. Hawley was able to ask a question that alluded to the fact that all of these new alternative payment models are driving consolidation into hospitals\, and that it is also difficult for independent physicians to participate in these models because the price to play is too high with the requirements. \n“One criticism I have heard is that solo physicians and small groups do not have the economies of scale needed to participate in alternative payment models that require large amounts of data collection and administrative reporting. Other than providing financial incentives for providers in help them take a risk in investment\, are there any proposals for how to make participation a possibility for all providers? Is there any concern that these new payment models contribute to hospital mergers and practice acquisitions which could in theory drive up costs by decreasing competition?” ~Kristy Hawley\, BRI-Georgetown \nThis debate got 168 views.

SUMMARY:2015 State Policy Network (SPN) 23rd Annual Meeting\, Grand Rapids\, MI | Sept. 29 – Oct. 2
DESCRIPTION:From the SPNAM.org official website: The SPN Annual Meeting started in 1993 in Traverse City\, Michigan. A dozen people met in a room with the hope of building a robust network of state think tanks throughout the country. Today\, the SPN Annual Meeting brings together over 900 people from around the country\, including state and national leaders\, influencers\, and professionals. \nWe believe that being good enough is not enough to win in the rapidly evolving political environment. We can’t afford to be outgunned\, outmanned and outspent. The future of the country depends on it. \nThat is why the State Policy Network has hosted the Annual Meeting for 23 years running. \nThis year\, the Annual Meeting is returning to the state where it all started.

SUMMARY:The Heritage Foundation—Panel Discussion: The ICD-10’s Costly and Complex Burden  on Doctors and Patients
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This event takes place EST. \nWe strongly encourage you to attend this panel discussion on the new ICD-10 regulations coming imminently to doctors and physicians throughout healthcare. Sponsored by The Heritage Foundation\, a long-time BRI ally and partner in the fight to preserve the doctor-patient relationship\, the panel features Dr. Robert Moffit\, a favorite speaker in BRI’s Speakers Bureau\, and BRI’s very own student leader and past Heritage Foundation Intern\, John Grimsley (BRI-Georgetown)\, who has contributed enormously to this discussion\, and others. \nOn October 1\, 2015\, a new standardized system of classifying disease\, the ICD-10\, will be imposed on practicing physicians and others in the health care sector. Since the 1980s\, the U.S. has conflated the disparate goals of research and reimbursement by linking the ICD codes to payments for health care. This unwise policy will be compounded by replacing the current ICD-9 with the newer and vastly more complex ICD-10. Adoption of the ICD-10 comes with significant costs and trade-offs. This unfunded mandate not only perpetuates a misguided policy decision that confuses the disparate goals of research and reimbursement\, but also adds significant financial and administrative burdens on physicians and other health care providers. \nJoin us as our panelists discuss their research and insight on this critical issue.\nFeaturing \nStephen F. Hayes \nColumnist\, The Weekly Standard  \nModerating a Discussion with\nJohn Grimsley \nM.D. Candidate\, Georgetown University\, Class of 2018 \nGerald Harmon\, M.D. \nAmerican Medical Association Trustee\, Board of Trustees \nJohn S. O’Shea\, M.D. \nSenior Fellow\, Health Policy Studies\, The Heritage Foundation \nHosted by\nRobert E.

SUMMARY:Yuri Maltsev\, Economist: Healthcare in the Soviet Union — Wine & Cheese presentation
DESCRIPTION:Patrick and Mary Peterson\, Beth Haynes and the Benjamin Rush Institute invite you to join an intimate (30 guests maximum)\, convivial gathering\, to sample fine wines and cheeses and meet other free market friends. You will also hear our special guest\, “the last Soviet Defector\,” Yuri Malstev speak about the dangers of socialized medicine. Yuri will offer some brief remarks on his experiences with socialized medicine in the Soviet Union as well as some key points toward a better system from an Austrian free market ideas perspective. Hosted at the beautiful Half Moon Bay Wine & Cheese\, this promises to be a memorable evening. We can’t imagine a better place for free market dads to be on Father’s Day! \n \nAssuming that Obamacare will either be declared unconstitutional (at least a large part of it) by the Supreme court in the last week in June\, or that it will simply fail from its own inefficiencies\, costs and contradictions\, what will come next?  The two clear but opposite paths for healthcare need some more consideration: socialized or free market. \nYou have a unique opportunity to enjoy\, in a sophisticated setting\, the wit and wisdom of someone greatly familiar with both paths\, from personal historical experience in Soviet Russia as well as logical\, but realistic\, Austrian free market economic theory. \nEconomics Professor Yuri Maltsev has taught at Carthage College in Kenosha\, Wisconsin since 1991. He earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees at Moscow State University\, and his Ph.D. in Labor Economics at the Institute of Labor Research in Moscow\, Russia. Before defecting to the United States in 1989\, he was a member of a senior Soviet economics team that worked on President Gorbachev’s reforms package of perestroika. Prof. Maltsev was a Senior Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington\, D.C.\, a federal research agency. \nProf. Maltsev has also appeared on CNN\, Financial Network News\, PBS Newshour\, C-Span\, Fox News\, CBC\, and other American and international television and radio programs. He has lectured at leading universities\, corporations\, banks\, colleges\, churches\, schools\, and community centers all over the world\, and is renowned for his wry humor and poignant stories. He has authored five books and hundreds of articles in U.S. and foreign publications.  His special insights come from his study of the great Austrian as well as other free market economists\, which he discovered amazingly\, while still in the Soviet Union. \nThe book Requiem for Marx\, edited and with an introduction by Maltsev\, will be available for purchase and autographing.
