SUMMARY:National BRI Student Leadership Conference
DESCRIPTION:Current & Future\nBRI Student Chapter Leaders\nYou care about the future of medicine — you ARE the future of medicine! \n \nWant to …\n  — learn how to make your BRI Chapter an effective\, vital part of your school’s educational program?\n  — know how to start and maintain a vibrant BRI Chapter that hosts exceptional\, noteworthy debates\, lectures\, lunch presentations\, and talks?\n  — be part of the answer to establishing American healthcare that really works… for everyone?\n \nYou will…\n  — meet like-minded student leaders from medical schools across the country\n  — exchange ideas\, support and experience to help each other succeed in all areas\n \nIf we are going to reach the hearts and minds of young physicians\, YOU are the ones who will make it happen; without you\, the values and ideas we share will NOT be heard in medical schools.\n  \n\nBased on feedback from last year’s Conference\, we will spend much more time on networking\, exchanging ideas\, and working in smaller\, focused breakout groups on projects directly affecting how you want BRI to work for you on your campus. Yes\, you will get “nuts & bolts\,” but there is a lot more of your creativity and inspiration that will fuel the future of BRI. We want you to be there to share your ideas with us! \nSPECIAL BONUS: Saturday Night Debate & Dinner! \nHost BRI Chapter at Anschutz Medical Campus | U.Colorado\, is organizing a debate for Saturday\, March 01 on ObamaCare’s controversial Medicare cost control panel\, the IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board). A dinner with fellow attendees and debaters will follow. The Debate & Dinner were one of last year’s Conference highlights. \nBRI has modeled itself on organizations with similar goals of defending liberty: Federalist Society\, Alexander Hamilton Society\, etc. These organizations have found that their successful Chapters have leaders who attend the annual meeting. We can not stress enough the correlation between a successful\, fun\, vibrant BRI Student Chapter and attendance at this 2014 kickoff meeting. \n\n\nYou are the most important part of the Conference! Now is the time to make your travel arrangements. We will send you complete hotel information in the next week or so.\n\n\nARRIVAL: Please plan to arrive at Denver International Airport (DEN) in time to attend our Friday\, Feb28 evening reception from 7pm – 9pm. This will be a complimentary bar with hearty hors d’oeuvres\, and a chance to mix\, mingle & get to know your fellow attendees.\n\n\nDEPARTURE: Plan your return flight for AFTER 2pm on Sunday\, Mar02. The Conference will end at noon on Sunday.\n\n\nBRI is prepared to pay for two Student Leaders per campus — more if we are able to keep our costs down.  If you are interested\, CONTACT US SOON!\n\n\nEvent is free to BRI Chapter Leaders. Thank you so much for your partnership! We look forward to seeing you in Denver!

SUMMARY:Yale—DEBATE: "How Should Doctors Be Paid? The Future of Physician Compensation and the Role of Government."
DESCRIPTION:Part of the healthcare reform debate is on how to improve care by modifying physician compensation. What method will best lead to quality improvement and cost reduction? Is it by replacing fee-for-service with ACOs\, or bundled payments? Should all physicians be salaried\, whether in government single-payer system or private businesses? Is fee-for-service the real culprit for rising costs by driving “volume not value?” Will other methods be superior? What are the best ways to discover better payment models? Is it  government-driven policy changes\, or do we need to let market competition drive innovations in delivery and compensation? \nCome hear what four policy experts have to say on this very important part of solving the challenges we face in providing quality\, affordable medical care. \nModerator: Howard P. Forman\, MD\, MBA\, Professor of Diagnostic Radiology\, Public Health (Health Policy)\, Management\, and Economics at Yale University. \nPanelists: \nZack Cooper\, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Public Health (Health Policy) and of Economics at Yale University\, and will represent the position that public policy must drive payment innovation in healthcare. \nJohn R. Graham is a Senior Fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis and will represent the position that fee-for-service would work well in healthcare if not tied to the 3rd party payer system. \nNeil B. Minkoff\, MD is a former Commissioner of the Massachusetts Group Insurance Commission and will represent the position that innovative payment models should be developed by the free market. \nRobert Nordgren\, MD\, MBA\, MPH\, is the CEO of Northeast Medical Group and a Senior Vice President of Yale New Haven Health System\, and will represent the position that salaried models work well in healthcare. \nBrought to you by the YSM Healthcare Improvement Group/IHI Open School Chapter\, and sponsored by the Benjamin Rush Institute\, Arthur N. Rupe Foundation\, Yale Graduate and Professional Student Senate\, Yale Healthcare Life Sciences Club\, and Yale Healthcare Collective.

SUMMARY:Georgetown: A Brief History of US Medicine: The Role of Government and Nature of Insurance
DESCRIPTION:“A Brief History of US Medicine: The Role of Government and the Nature of Insurance” \nWhat have been the unintended consequences (side effects) of government laws and regulations in the practice and delivery of medicine? Do the benefits outweigh the negative effects? \nWhat is the history of health insurance in the United States – and how have regulations contributed to the rising costs of both insurance and health care? How does insurance work – and why is it NOT working in health care the same way that it works in other types of insurance (fire\, life\, auto\, etc)? \nSpecial Guest Speaker: Beth Haynes MD\, Executive Director of The Benjamin Rush Institute. \n \n Previously in private practice with board certification in both Family Practice and Emergency Medicine\, Dr. Haynes has been working full time in health care policy for the past four years. She obtained her MD from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and her residency training at University of Wisconsin in Madison. \nDr. Haynes also volunteers as Senior Health Policy Analyst and Executive Board Member for Docs4PatientCare\, as Executive Board Member of the Dr. Joseph Warren Institute and is founder and president of the Black Ribbon Project which promotes freedom of choice for patients and doctors. She previously served as National Co-Chair of Doc Squads\, a project to recruit and train doctors to lead the public health care debate. Dr. Haynes has published several op-eds in TownHall.com\, PJ Media\, Huffington Post and the American Thinker.  Her research on cost-shifting was instrumental to two amici curiae submitted to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and to the Supreme Court on behalf of the plaintiffs challenging the constitutionality of the individual mandate. She frequently speaks to citizen and professional groups on health care policy\, the ACA and the ethics and economics of medicine. \nLunch will be provided\, so we ask that you please RSVP through the link provided to ensure the appropriate amount of food.

SUMMARY:UNC -Greenville: “Why What’s Called Health Insurance\, Isn’t”
DESCRIPTION:The US is seemingly trapped in an endless upward spiral of healthcare costs. \nThe ACA was passed with claims that it would solve the problem of the uninsured and bend the cost curve downward. How’s it doing? \nHalfway through the first official year of full implementation of the ACA\, some people have gained coverage while significant number of others have lost coverage. The latest Gallup Poll estimates 13.4% are still without coverage. That’s an improvement from a peak of 18% uninsured in mid-2013\, but the vast majority of newly covered have been enrolled into Medicaid – a highly flawed program where coverage all too frequently does not translate into actual medical care. \nThis mediocre success in resolving the problem of the uninsured is coupled with absolute failure in bringing down the cost of insurance and medical care. Much of the failure to bend the cost curve downward is due to a failure to understand what is and isn’t insurance. What’s being called healthcare insurance \, isn’t insurance.  Until we get this right\, any attempt to lower healthcare costs will be negated by the laws of economics. \n

SUMMARY:Georgetown | Lecture — Dr. Robert F. Graboyes\, Obamacare Alternatives: "Islands of Innovation"  vs. "Repeal & Replace"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Robert F. Graboyes\nSenior Research Fellow\, Mercatus Center at George Mason University \nIslands of Innovation\nThe ACA (Affordable Care Act\, or Obamacare) is a destructive law whose weaknesses are well-known. But pre-ACA health care was loaded with damaging laws\, regulations\, and customs—many of them supported by the same people who fiercely oppose the ACA. For nearly five years\, ACA opponents have issued futile promises to repeal and replace the ACA—but their proposals have been hollow and remain politically undeliverable. \nBoth ACA and pre-ACA institutions are similarly fearful of risks and deferential to insiders\, and the repeal-and-replace proposals would do little to alleviate these problems. Fortunately\, medicine is about to be slammed by a slew of new technologies that will radically change health care. These changes offer the opportunity to pursue a strategy akin to America’s Pacific Theater strategy in World War II—reform health care island by island by island\, taking down hundreds of ACA and pre-ACA obstacles to better health. This talk will cover how this island-hopping strategy can get us past the tedious debate between Obamacare and Repeal-and-Replace.

SUMMARY:Mayo Medical School: "Understanding Insurance: the key to worldwide\, affordable\, quality healthcare"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Beth Haynes\, MD\n“Understanding Insurance: the key to worldwide\, affordable\, quality healthcare” \nHow many Americans have proper health insurance? The latest figures from March of 2014claim that 13.1% of Americans are without health insurance. But in fact\, very few Americans have health insurance… because what people call health insurance really isn’t insurance at all. To solve the challenges we face in healthcare\, we must be clear in our concepts and definitions. The failure to understand what is and ins’t insurance is a major\, if not the major reason we are failing to get a handle on spiraling health care costs. If you are concerned about the state of healthcare – not just in the US but throughout the world – you first need to understand insurance: what it is and what it isn’t\,  and thus what it can and can’t do toward achieving meaningful access to quality medical care. \nUntil we fully understand what is and isn’t insurance\, healthcare costs can not be controlled by anything short of full rationing. Come find out why.
