SUMMARY:Medical College of WI: Milk and Cookies Meet and Greet
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about the Benjamin Rush Institute\, who we are\, what we do and how you can participate.\nAnd while you’re there\, have some milk and cookies! \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Students were invited to socialize over milk and cookies. We had 100 attendees and over 70 sign-ups for our email list. They expressed a tremendous interest in learning more about healthcare policy\, the Affordable Care Act\, and the power of markets in medical care. \nOne student said\, “So this is like an economics of health care group? That’s awesome. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Where do I sign up?” The event far exceeded our expectations.

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.

SUMMARY:George Washington University - Film & Discussion: "Code Black"
DESCRIPTION:Join BRI’s GWU Chapter and the GW Emergency Medicine Interest Group for a Code Black film screening\, followed by a panel discussion with select EMed faculty and residents. Refreshments will be served. \nCode Black is a must-see documentary for any medical student\, regardless of specialization.

Follow the eye-opening\, real world experience of ER doctors as their ability to deliver quality ER care changes when they move from the Old County Hospital to the New County Hospital. Read BRI contributing blogger Derek Dye’s movie review or watch the trailer. \nPOST-EVENT REPORT: There was an incredible turnout for this event. Approximately 150 people attended this event\, and 20 people signed up for our email list. The GW Emergency Medicine Interest Group provided light movie snacks\, but BRI did most of the organizing and leg work. We had planned to do a post-screening panel discussion with local Emergency Medicine physicians\, but unfortunately that did not happen due to last minute scheduling conflicts with two of our panel members. \nOverall it was a very positive event. It left people asking questions. Even though it was later in the evening\, people stayed afterwards and just talked about the issues addressed by the film. \nTESTIMONIAL: “Definitely an eye opener. Made me wonder what my facility will be like.” — MS3 interested in Emergency Medicine

SUMMARY:Ohio University HCOM - Lecture: Free Market Systems and the ACA\, by Dr. Richard Vedder\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Richard K. Vedder is an American economist\, historian\, author\, columnist\, and currently distinguished Professor of Economics Emeritus at Ohio University and Senior Fellow at The Independent Institute. Please join us for a discussion on the value of free markets\, and how these concepts apply (or don’t apply) to the Affordable Care Act. \nPOST-EVENT REPORT: On December 12\, 2014\, Dr. Richard Vedder spoke to 15 students at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Topics included the value of free markets\, and how these concepts apply (or don’t apply) to the Affordable Care Act. \nBecause medical school does not provide a business education\, this talk was very beneficial for students because it provided scope outside of medicine and broadened students’ perspectives into a field that they do not typically address. \nDr. Richard Vedder is very well respected in the academic world\, and his presentation was interesting and provided a perspective that medical students are not often exposed to. His knowledge of the topic was incredibly relevant\, and he was engaging and entertaining.

SUMMARY:Ohio State University - Lecture: Dr. Todd Fredricks\, DO "Who Owns You — Are You Truly Free?"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Todd Fredricks is a Primary Care physician from Ohio University. His talk will cover the current state of the PPACA with regard to impending legal challenge\, the state of medicine as practiced by new physicians\, and the current changes that physicians are making to try and reestablish personal freedom in practice. \nLunch will be provided. \nPOST-EVENT REPORT: Forty-five attendees — mostly medical students from Ohio State — joined BRI for a Lunch and Learn with Dr. Todd Fredricks\, D.O.\, of Ohio University. Dr. Fredricks’ talk centered on how the ACA infringes upon personal liberty and the Doctor-Patient relationship. Dr. Fredricks began by addressing the concept of liberty from the points of view of our nation’s founders\, quoting the likes of Jefferson\, Hamilton\, and Franklin. Dr. Fredricks then applied this concept to the current healthcare climate. \nDr. Fredricks also gave brief updates on King v. Burwell\, as well as other current legal challenges to the ACA. In the end\, he provided some parting shots regarding how new practitioners should approach their careers in medicine given the political and economic climates. The event was very well received by students\, and many hung around to chat with Dr. Fredricks after the event. \nThis was the best turnout we’ve had for a single-speaker event. The event lived up to expectations\, and I think students enjoyed the presentation\, and several approached him after the event to talk. Dr. Fredricks was very gracious and is always well prepared.\n

Her lecture was entitled “The Merits of Profit in Medicine.” She used many examples to demonstrate that medicine is best without government restraints\, and when profit drives the system. \nAfter the lecture\, many excellent questions were asked\, and physicians from the community discussed their systems. This was an excellent event that turned out a high attendance even though many other events were occurring that night. The only suggestion was that some students voiced wanting to see more statistical data and studies to back up claims.
