Sally Pipes on healthcare reform

All are welcome to attend a lecture on healthcare reform featuring Sally Pipes, President and CEO of Pacific Research Center, a San Francisco-based think tank founded in 1979. Ms. Pipes is also Benjamin Rush Institute founder and Chair of the BRI Executive Board.

Sixty-five students enjoyed a lunch presentation by Wisconsin State Representative Dale Kooyenga (Dist. 14). Mr. Kooyenga lectured about how principles of federalism can help to solve problems with health care administration and coverage in America. He gave a very well structured overall plan for how he would go about replacing the ACA in the first half of the presentation, and the second half was reserved for question and answer.

Dr. Madrigal-Dersch will be speaking during TTUHSC SOM P3 week about her cash based practice and challenges of practicing medicine. All are welcome to attend. Please RSVP to ensure enough food for all.

Dr. Madrigal-Dersch has a private Med-Peds practice in Texas. She is also a BRI board member. Her story about how she designed her practice and life to support maximum patient care, personal satisfaction and joy is truly inspiring. We hope you'll join us.

Dr. Beth Haynes (r), BRI executive director

Dr. Beth Haynes, BRI executive director will giving a lecture to George Washington University students and faculty on health insurance.

What is health insurance?

What is not?

How is understanding distinctions in health insurance critical to controlling healthcare costs?

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.

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.
