George Washington University — DEBATE: Be it resolved: Providing quality healthcare to the poor is best achieved through free markets and charity, not government programs

Ross Hall, Room #117 2300 I St NW, Washington, DC, United States

Be it resolved: Providing quality healthcare to the poor is best achieved through free markets and charity, not government programs

Arguably the most important question in America's current debate about healthcare is: Who can deliver the best results for the most people? A free market, or government ("single payer")? Is there any common ground between these two greatly differing views?

BRI provides educational debates, lectures, events and resources supporting our mission to promote healthcare solutions that protect the doctor-patient relationships the primary means of delivering quality medical care. This debate at GWU is an important part of that mission, to expand discussion, education, and information about all sides of healthcare issues.

George Washington University is the Host Chapter for BRI's 4th annual leadership conference and is a proud partner with BRI in producing this debate. For the 4th consecutive year, a Friday night debate has been one of the most anticipated parts of BRI's Leadership Conference, and it is the only part of the conference open to the public.

We look forward to seeing you & thank you for being part of this important part of our healthcare future.
