SUMMARY:Sackler School of Medicine @ Tel Aviv University—LECTURE: How We Got to Our Healthcare Today
DESCRIPTION:Jordan Halevy\, MS1 and BRI-Sackler chapter Founder and President will deliver an overview of the history of healthcare in the US\, from the founding of the AMA and mutual societies all the way up to the ACA and beyond. The presentation will highlight the numerous government interventions into the healthcare market and how those distortions still affect us to this day. \n \nFrom the group’s Facebook page:\nAs a future physician\, empower yourself by joining us to find out how the U.S. healthcare system got its start. Learn about the roots of our broken system and what the ACA intends to do about it. Refreshments will be served at 11\, followed by a presentation given by Jordan Halevy and Q&A session. \nThis event is hosted by the Sackler Chapter of the Benjamin Rush Institute. BRI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has established chapters on various medical school campuses across America and abroad. Board members include: Jordan Halevy\, Gabriel Banschick\, Jonathan Kovacs\, and Nicole Shalit. \nOur mission statement: Promote solutions that protect the doctor-patient relationship as the primary means of delivering quality medical care\, empowered by a robust free enterprise system\, which fosters innovation and reduces costs. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Eighteen students attended this presentation. \n“The event started off with refreshments being served. We received a solid turnout of approximately one third of the freshman class. The presentation focused on major milestones in American healthcare that either still exist with us or served as the impetus for policy today. \n“While I attempted to focus primarily on factual legislation and such throughout the presentation\, I also used the opportunity to highlight both government intervention and cronyism from private actors. Once put together\, the presentation served as a cautionary tale about good intentions leading to bad policy while empowering special interest groups at the expense of the average American. \n“There was only one question asked at the end\, and it was a technical question about how the ACA penalty for not having insurance is assessed. I edited it out of the video to keep the video looking a lot cleaner.” ~Jordan Halevy\, BRI-Sackler chapter founder & president \nEvent feedback from Mr. Halevy:\nOne student reported enjoying the presentation and felt that he “learned a lot.” After attending he said he wanted to further pursue the topic by doing more research on his own. Another student personally thanked me for putting on the presentation\, saying it was informative and saved him the effort of needing to look up all of this material in the future. \n

SUMMARY:Medical College of Wisconsin—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care with Dr. Mark Niedfeldt
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 22nd\, the Benjamin Rush Institute hosted a lunch talk for 42 students with Dr. Mark Niedfeldt. An alumnus and previous MCW faculty member\, Dr. Niedfeldt now owns a solo direct medical care (often called Direct Primary Care) clinic which offers patients unprecedented access to the physician and a higher level of personal attention. We heard him speak about his practice and how he offers high quality doctor-patient relationships in a cost-effective way. \nAfter beginning with a description of the modern medical field and why costs are frequently higher than desired\, he went through a list of “problems.” E.g. big pharma\, salaries\, hospital administrators… etc. He ended by describing his current practice and laying out reasons for why he left his old setting in academia. \nOverall\, the event was well accepted and multiple students sought him out after the talk to ask specific questions. \n“This event was well timed given recent/ongoing debates on the national level regarding health care. The speaker was well prepared and persuasive.” ~Benjamin Stultz\, treasurer\, BRI-MCW

SUMMARY:University of Delaware—SKYPE INTERVIEW: Dr. Keith Smith on Direct Pay Surgery
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Keith Smith\, founder of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma and pioneer in free market medical practice.\nAll are welcome to join Young Americans for Liberty and the UDel chapter of Benjamin Rush Institute for a Skype interview with Dr. Keith Smith\, founder of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma. Dr. Smith will explain how his cash-based surgery practice operates. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Ten students attended the lecture. Dr. Smith explained how his cash-based surgery center works. He answered questions pertaining to what he does during a normal day\, how his surgery center is better than a hospital\, how it is to a doctor’s advantage to work there\, what happens when there is a surgical mistake\, what the greatest weakness is in the cash-based movement\, and how he sees the future of cash-based medicine. At the end\, he explained how the medical industry has become cartelized. \n“The event went very well. Dr. Smith did a great job explaining his practice to non-medical students who have very little background in how the medical system operates.” ~Zach Howell\, BRI-UDel chapter founder and president \n“The Skype talk with Dr. Keith Smith was a great opportunity for our chapter. We got to hear from someone was knowledgeable and experienced in a free market solution to medical care. To talk to a doctor who has hands on experience running a surgery center that does not accept insurance or any handouts from the government is very enlightening. It’s easy to talk about what could work in theory\, but Dr. Keith Smith made it a reality. He proved that there is a way to make medical care more affordable. Also\, he was just really great to talk to. He was very friendly and answered all of our questions.” ~Connor McGinley\, University of Delaware Junior International Relations and Spanish Studies Major

SUMMARY:Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine—MOVIE SCREENING: Star Trek Bioethics and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join BRI-Marian for a screening of a Star Trek episode\, focusing on healthcare policies. Afterward\,Dr. Jason Eberl\, Semler Endowed Professor of Medical Ethics at MUCOM will join us for a discussion about what we saw. \nPlease RSVP to ensure enough food for all. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty students and faculty joined us for “Star Trek Bioethics.” After we watched an episode of Star Trek: Voyager – Season 7 – “Critical Care\,” Dr. Eberl (MU-COM’s ethics professor) opened a discussion about the bioethical issue pertaining to the episode. The episode dealt with the topic of government controlled healthcare\, particularly how the need for cost effectiveness and utility of each patient to society limited who got care and who didn’t. \nIt was an interesting discussion of why it is important to have a diverse medical market so that everyone can get the healthcare they want. We learned about the dangers of a federally operated healthcare system and the need for less government influence. We also talked about the social implication of providing healthcare to everyone and how it is not a right but a privilege. \n

SUMMARY:Georgetown University—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care\, Family- and Modern Mobile Medicine
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this presentation by two family practice doctors on Direct Primary Care\, Drs. Marguerite Duane and Matt Haden. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Forty students and faculty took advantage of this opportunity to explore DPC. Drs. Marguerite Duane and Matt Haden spoke about their direct primary care practice called Modern Mobile Medicine. Their model makes use of the direct primary care model but also incorporates home visits and telemedicine to improve convenience for patients. One of their patients attended the talk with her son and explained how beneficial the practice model was for her. Not only can she access very affordable care around the clock\, but she also is able to have a doctor visit her or her son at home\, minimizing the hassle of visiting a doctor’s office. Modern Mobile Medicine is in its early stages but is expanding rapidly. \n\nHad a great time talking to @Georgetown #medstudents  last week.  Great to see interest in #DPC and the #doctorpatientrelationship https://t.co/PcuzRqIdBP \n— Matt Haden MD (@matteohaden) February 13\, 2017 \n \n“This event surpassed our expectations. There was a very large audience\, and they were actively engaged. The speakers were excellent and were able to share their experiences thus far in medicine and how their new practice is embodying what drew them to medicine in the first place. We had a DPC speaker in the fall who was terrific\, but these speakers were just as good. They not only explained the huge benefits of DPC\, but they also touched on why the insurance-based and heavily-regulated traditional model does not make economic sense or provide patients with the best options or prices. The event attracted those interested in both DPC and primary care in general\, so I feel that a wide range of opinions on healthcare policy were represented. Drs. Duane and Haden could not have represented the free market any better than they did. Overall\, the event could not have gone better.” Malcom Magovern\, BRI-Georgetown chapter president. \n  \n

SUMMARY:2017 BRI Leadership Conference in Saint Louis\, MO
DESCRIPTION:Healing Our Healers Through the\nPatient-Doctor Relationship\nDoctors are called upon to treat the sickest of the sick\, often in conditions that demand the most of the strongest human beings. Yet\, even in America with some of the best medical conditions in the world\, doctors are still called upon to serve\, heal\, and respond—over and over again—usually with no thought for their own well-being\, endurance\, or limitations. \nMedical students are also found in similar situations: forced to the brink of their mental\, emotional\, and physical capacity\, to study\, learn and perform on cue . . . and they do this because they want to serve people. \nSo\, how do we take care of our doctors and medical students? Based on the sheer number of healthcare professionals who drop out of school\, out of their practices\, or —worse yet\, out of life itself through suicide—the answer is: not well at all. \nBesides the vast medical knowledge doctors and medical student must learn and retain\, there is the new additional burden of onerous government regulation\, sapping autonomy and joy from the medical profession. We say\, it’s time to heal our healers\, and the best way to do that is to protect one of the most sacred relationships: that of patient and doctor. When doctors are free to practice\, to make choices that serve them and their patients rather than bureaucracy\, and take action in the best interest of their patients\, they in turn are the most fulfilled and happy. \nAt the Benjamin Rush Institute annual student leadership conference\, we will present concrete\, workable and proven ways to improve healthcare for all\, and above all\, heal our healers through the patient-doctor relationship. \nBRI is proud to bring you\nBRI-Leadership Conference 2017.\nThursday evening\, February 2nd through Sunday noon\, February 5th\, 2017.\nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS CLOSED.

SUMMARY:Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai—LECTURE: Fortress and Frontier in American Healthcare with Dr. Robert Graboyes
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to listen to one of the most frequently requested lecturers on healthcare policy. The BRI-Icahn chapter is pleased to present Dr. Robert Graboyes\, who will be speaking about his fortress and frontiers framework for understanding barriers to innovation in American healthcare. \nThere are few who can illuminate the challenges of innovation in healthcare with such wit and intelligence as Dr. Graboyes. Refreshments will be served. Kindly RSVP to ensure enough food for all. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Dr. Graboyes gave a very interesting talk to 40 students and faculty about his model of the barriers to innovation in medicine. The fortress represents risk averse\, vested interests that resist change\, such as insurance companies\, physicians and hospitals. The frontier is where other sectors of the economy operate\, such as IT. In health care\, Dr. Graboyes argued that we are unwilling to take the risks necessary to move medicine forward at the same rate IT has advanced. \nIn an engaging manner\, Dr. Graboyes walked through several examples of where the frontier in American health care is developing\, defying the trend of most of the field. He spoke passionately about his own experiences as an A fib patient\, and the comfort and savings provided to him by a mobile EKG iPhone case. This allows Dr. Graboyes better control over his own health care decisions\, allows him to save the system money and gives him more information about his health data. \nStudents had a number of questions and follow up for Dr. Graboyes\, a testament to the interesting nature of his talk. \n“The event exceeded expectations. It is a testament to Dr. Graboyes’ talk that many found it so engaging.” ~Hrishi Srinagesh\, BRI-Icahn president and event coordinator \nDr. Robert Graboyes is a Senior Research Fellow and Health Care Scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Author of “Fortress and Frontier in American Health Care\,” his work asks\, “How can we make health care as innovative in the next 25 years as information technology was in the past 25?” \nPreviously\, he was health care advisor for the National Federation of Independent Business\, economics professor at the University of Richmond\, regional economist/director of education at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond\, and Sub-Saharan Africa economist for Chase Manhattan Bank. His work has taken him to Europe\, Africa\, and Central Asia. An award-winning teacher\, he holds faculty appointments at Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia. Previously he taught at George Mason University and the George Washington University. \nHis degrees include a PhD in Economics from Columbia University; master’s from Columbia University\, Virginia Commonwealth University\, and the College of William and Mary; and a bachelor’s from the University of Virginia. He has chaired the National Economists Club\, Richmond Association for Business Economics\, and National Association for Business Economics Healthcare Roundtable. \nHe won the Reason Foundation’s 2014 Bastiat Prize for Journalism\, an international competition for “writing that best demonstrates the importance of individual liberty and free markets with originality\, wit\, and eloquence.” \n

SUMMARY:Saint Louis University—MOVIE SCREENING: Poverty\, Inc.: “The Business of Doing Good”
DESCRIPTION:Poverty\, Inc.: “The Business of Doing Good.”\nThe Saint Louis University BRI chapter is proud to screen Poverty\, Inc. to students and faculty. It is a bold look at “the business of doing good.” Please join us for refreshments and lively discussion following the film. \n\nFrom the film’s website:\n“The West has positioned itself as the protagonist of development\, giving rise to a vast multi-billion dollar poverty industry — the business of doing good has never been better. Yet the results have been mixed\, in some cases even catastrophic\, and leaders in the developing world are growing increasingly vocal in calling for change. \nDrawing from over 200 interviews filmed in 20 countries\, Poverty\, Inc. unearths an uncomfortable side of charity we can no longer ignore.” \n  \n  \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty-one students attended to watch the movie over lunch that was provided during screening. After the event we had a productive conversation about how government programs and philanthropic efforts (such as Tom’s Shoes) may not lead to independence in impoverished peoples\, and we explored possible alternatives and systems such as micro-loans. \n  \n“We had a productive conversation after the event. Many that attended “had no idea” that their good efforts could be perpetuating a system that only deepens a group’s level of poverty and dependence on the first-world. I think all those in attendance will have additional skills to critically evaluate charity in the future.” ~Alex Wisbeck\, BRI-SLU chapter president

SUMMARY:Saint Louis University—DISCUSSION: Healthcare Policy Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:ALL are welcome to attend BRI-SLU’s first meeting of the year! Come find out about our work to preserve medical freedom for all doctors\, while providing solutions to keeping healthcare affordable\, accessible and of high quality for patients. We are America’s only free market healthcare oriented organization specifically for medical students. \nAs a medical student\, what are your concerns about healthcare policy? Didn’t know you should be concerned? This meeting is for you! \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty-five (mostly M1 and M2) students participated in our first meeting of the year. We held an open-ended discussion about relevant topics in healthcare today\, such as where students see barriers in access to care\, concerns they have with bureaucracy in healthcare\, and past events BRI has held at SLU. We started the meeting with a 5-10 minute powerpoint about BRI\, then divided the room into 3 separate discussion groups. Students were very interested in hearing more about direct primary care (such as Atlas MD/ Josh Umbehr)\, learning how the ACA has changed or increased patients’ out-of-pocket costs\, what can we learn from other national healthcare systems (positives and negatives)\, and what are possible alternatives to the ACA.

SUMMARY:George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences—LECTURE: When Health Policy\, Economics and Patient Care Intersect
DESCRIPTION:Interested in hearing the practitioner’s perspective on how healthcare economics and patient care might be impacted by the recent election? All are welcome to join the BRI-GWU chapter on Wednesday 12/7 at lunch to hear Dr. Jesse Pines\, MD\, MBA\, an emergency physician who served as a Senior Advisor at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. \nDr. Pines will discuss current healthcare innovations in the context of political and economic limitations\, and how we as future physicians can navigate the changing healthcare landscape to best serve our patients. \nLunch will be provided! Please REGISTER to ensure enough food for all. \nDr. Pines is the Director of the GW Center for Healthcare Innovation and Policy Research in the George Washington (GW) University School of Medicine & Health Sciences and a Professor of Health Policy and Management at GW Milken Institute School of Public Health (MISPH). Dr. Pines is the Principal Investigator for Urgent Matters (www.urgentmatters.org)\, a program that disseminates information on best practices in emergency care. Dr. Pines is a board-certified emergency physician practicing at GW Hospital with extensive experience in quality improvement\, patient safety\, operations research\, and clinical epidemiology. Dr. Pines has served as a Senior Advisor at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Innovation Center\, and a consultant to the National Quality Forum on patient safety and emergency care. He co-authored an Institute of Medicine Report on sustainable models for emergency preparedness funding. \nDr. Pines holds a B.A. in the Biological Basis of Behavior and a Masters of Science in Clinical Epidemiology from University of Pennsylvania and an MD and a Masters in Business Administration from Georgetown University. He completed a residency in emergency medicine at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center and a fellowship in research at Penn. Prior to coming to GW in 2010\, Dr. Pines served on the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine for 5 ½ years. \n \nDr. Pines has been awarded funding from multiple organizations including the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality\, GW Hospital\, Universal Health Services\, Inc.\, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, the National Institutes of Health\, the Department of Homeland Security\, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\, Emergency Medicine Foundation\, American College of Emergency Physicians\, American Geriatrics Society\, the Institute on Aging\, the Thomas McCabe fund\, the University Research Foundation at Penn\, the National Priorities Partnership on Aging\, Boehringer-Ingelheim and Abbott Point-of-Care. \nHe is author on more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and has published several books: Visual Diagnosis in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine (2006\, 2011)\, Evidence-Based Emergency Care: Diagnostic Testing and Clinical Decision Rules (2008\, 2013)\, and Emergency Care and the Public’s Health (2014). His latest book\, Value-Based Approaches in Acute and Emergency Care\, will be published in 2016. He has contributed to TIME magazine\, Slate.com\, Emergency Physicians’ Monthly\, Foreign Policy Magazine\, and the Wall Street Journal. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Fifty medical students packed the meeting room to hear a practitioner perspective on what a Trump presidency could mean for healthcare. Dr. Pines\, an emergency physician with extensive experience and knowledge of health policy\, provided a brief history of health economics and health policy in the United States\, with special attention to the years leading up the passing of the ACA. He then outlined possible scenarios that might take place in the next administration by breaking down each major Republican leader’s priorities for healthcare. \n\n“Now more than ever\, people need to understand health policy and how it is going to impact physicians.” -Katie S.\, MS2 \n\nIn summary\, relentlessly rising healthcare costs without comparable health outcomes led to the ACA. Some goals of the ACA were to expand coverage and to shift towards a value-based payment system with greater accountability for patient outcomes. With the passing of MACRA\, there is a continued focus on merit-based payment for physicians and alternative payment models for hospitals. The ACA has been unpopular among many who see only a rise in cost sharing and overall healthcare spend. \n \nThe new policy agenda includes reforming Medicare and Medicaid\, shifting more to private health insurance coverage and benefits\, reducing healthcare costs\, and changing quality metrics. Dr. Pines thinks it is unlikely that the ACA will be repealed in it’s entirety; whats more likely is that major parts of it will be completely defunded. While the Republican leaders agree on some things\, they don’t agree on everything. Both Price and Ryan have strongly advocated for tax credits\, HSAs\, high risk pools\, and sales across state lines. However\, Ryan supports a continuous coverage requirement\, while Trump and Price do not. Trump and Price also advocate for price transparency. The push for price transparency is growing\, and that has the potential to radically change the healthcare system and the way we practice medicine. As it is\, most physicians don’t know themselves how much things costs and don’t know how to respond to patients when they ask how much something is going to cost. \n“Since the election\, I have truly had no idea what to expect for healthcare other than the overly simplified ‘repeal and replace.’ The lecture gave me a much better sense of what to look for in the coming administration.” -MS1 \nStudents of different political ideologies attended the event\, and there was significant discussion during the Q&A about the choice of Tom Price as health secretary. Some students expressed concern about his priorities\, while others thought him a choice who would represent physicians’ best interests. The lecture prompted numerous questions\, both during the presentation and afterwards. There is a clear understanding that policy will impact future physician practice\, and a strong desire to understand how. \n“Given the fact that it is right before finals and winter break\, I was expecting a much smaller turnout for this event. I was shocked by how many people came – first and second years who were days away from their exams\, third and fourth years who came from their hospital rotations to attend. There were even numerous requests to have the event recorded. There was a clear interest in understanding more about the current policy positions of those about to take leadership and change law. And the event absolutely delivered. Dr. Pines very clearly outlined all of the major policy positions of Trump\, Ryan\, and Price\, and he answered many questions throughout the event.” ~Caroline Jensen\, BRI-GWU President \n“A very informative talk.” – Leah F.\, MS2 \n

SUMMARY:The Ohio State University College of Medicine—LECTURE: Physician Assisted Suicide: A Legal Discussion
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend discussion of this controversial topic\, hosted by BRI-OSUMC. Refreshments will be served. Please use the green “Register” button top right so that we can be sure to have enough food for everyone. \nThe legal landscape of physician practices is a scarce topic in medical school education. This discussion will clearly cover the legal status and language of Physician Assisted Suicide (or Physician Assisted Death\, “PAD”) in the US and internationally\, the future of PAD in the U.S.\, and the ethical considerations brought forth by both sides of the argument. \nThe short HBO Vice episode “Right to Die” (2016) will be shown at the beginning of the hour. \nOSU’s Courtney Thiele\, JD\, MA\, 2015-2016 Clinical Bioethics Fellow\, OSU COM Center for Bioethics & Medical Humanities will lead the discussion. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Thirty (30) students attended. The short HBO Vice episode “Right to Die” (2016) was shown at the beginning of the hour to present the topic and compare domestic & international perspectives on physician assisted suicide. The video discussed the current legal status of PAS\, and there were multiple interviews with many individuals seeking their “right to die.” The video ended by showing a woman in the Netherlands ending her life with physician assistance. \nFollowing the video presentation\, Courtney discussed the difference in terminology surrounding Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS)\, or Physician Aided Dying (PAD)\, the current state of its legality in the US\, Canada and worldwide\, and finally brought forth the ethical considerations. This was followed by stimulating Q&A.

SUMMARY:University of California\, Irvine School of Medicine—PANEL DISCUSSION: Direct Primary Care and Its Relevance for Medical Students
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend a discussion with Dr. Emilie Scott & Dr. James Gaor of Halcyon Health. What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)\, and how is it relevant to medical students? Dr. Scott will speak about her primary care practice\, which uses the direct primary care business model. In this model\, patients pay an initial enrollment fee and then a monthly fee for primary care services.We think you’ll want to know about this non-traditional and expanding method of delivering quality\, affordable care without insurance companies or government middlemen getting between patients and doctors. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Thirty-one (31) interested students and members of the UC-Irvine community came to the meeting\, underscoring the great interest and draw this topic has for medical students. Dr. Scott and her husband\, Dr. Gaor\, provided an amazing platform to openly discuss her practice\, story and passion for her patients. \nWe also had the chance to talk about the Primary Care practice modeled as a non-profit\, so that can all patients have access: those who can pay\, those with limited ability to pay\, or those who are uninsured\, or even undocumented or lack ongoing access to quality care.

SUMMARY:Sackler School of Medicine\,Tel Aviv—DEBATE: The Future of Healthcare: Is Single-Payer the Right Direction?
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend the BRI-Sackler chapter for a discussion on free market versus single payer healthcare\, and which is the right direction to pursue. \nSackler students supporting free market healthcare:\nJordan Halevy (BRI President)\nGabriel Banschick (BRI VP)\nJonathan Kovacs (BRI Secretary and event moderator) \nSackler students arguing for single-payer healthcare:\nRachel Frenklak\nAlexey Gurevich \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Fifteen students came out on a Sunday afternoon for this discussion. \n“The topic of the panel discussion hosted by our BRI chapter was whether or not we should move toward a single-payer system. The side arguing for free markets was represented by myself and our VP\, Gabriel Banschick. The opposing side was represented by a Canadian Sackler student Alexey Gurevich\, and Rachel Frenklak\, an American Sackler student who strongly supports socialization of medicine. \n“Given our unique situation being abroad in Israel\, our targeted audience for the event was fellow first year Sackler students\, although we did also pull in a second year student. The Q&A portion had some good questions directed at our side of the panel\, and I think we did a good job of handling the concerns of these fellow classmates. After the event\, a number of them approached me and thanked our chapter for putting on this discussion (these being classmates who are known to be ideologically opposed to our position).”~Jordan Halevy\, BRI-Sackler founder and president \n“Thanks for putting on this event.
