Is "Right to Try" Right for Oregon?

Free — RSVP with"Tickets"

NOTE: This event takes place in the Eastern time zone.

University of Louisville School of Medicine is proud to host another BRI Chapter Debate on the future of healthcare. Dr. Garrett Adams, president of Physicians for a National Health Program and  Dr. Michael Strickland of LetMyDoctorPractice.org will argue both sides of this highly contested national debate. Dr. Strickland will be taking a stance on a more conservative, private payer healthcare system; Dr. Adams will argue for a more liberal, single-payer health plan.

There will also be a free Qdoba buffet provided before the event!

Street meter parking is available all around campus, and there is also a UofL garage at the corner of Chestnut and Preston Street.

We look forward to seeing you at what will surely be an informative, lively event.

Please join us for an evening of lively, thought-provoking debate as we look at three views on physician aid in dying. What are the moral, ethical, and medical ramifications of the question? How do we take care of the dying in a way that supports their and their family's wishes, while observing the many religious and scientific aspects of these decisions? Ultimately, who decides — the patient, the family, the society, or the physician?

We are proud to present three distinguished experts on the matter:

  Dr. Ronald Green, Professor of Religion/Dartmouth,   Peter Schwartz, Retired Chairman of the Board of the Ayn Rand Institute, and   Dr. Robert Macauley, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Vermont College of Medicine.

NOTE: This event takes place in the EASTERN TIME ZONE.

Please join us for what is sure to be a lively debate between two physicians with radically different views on healthcare, and help us kick off this first of many healthcare- and health policy-related events to come this year. Dr. Mark Wheeler represents a direct primary care model with more freedom of choice as far as physician and insurance are concerned, and Dr. Syed Quadri of Physicians for a National Health Program represents a national healthcare model, advocating more government subsidized coverage and  care.

FOOD: We will be serving lunch, so RSVPs are appreciated!
PARKING: Chestnut Street Garage at the corner of Chestnut and Preston Street, or any of the meters along Preston street or in the surrounding area.
