From the SPNAM.org official website: The SPN Annual Meeting started in 1993 in Traverse City, Michigan. A dozen people met in a room with the hope of building a robust network of state think tanks throughout the country. Today, the SPN Annual Meeting brings together over 900 people from around the country, including state and national leaders, influencers, and professionals.
We believe that being good enough is not enough to win in the rapidly evolving political environment. We can’t afford to be outgunned, outmanned and outspent. The future of the country depends on it.
This year, the Annual Meeting is returning to the state where it all started. Freedom fighters will gather in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with an intentional focus on developing the solutions and skills to advance freedom at both the state and national level. Through the lens of our 2015 theme – Experience Freedom – we will consider ways to sharpen our solutions and strategies and help our core audiences envision their need for freedom. We will inspire and challenge ourselves to give Americans opportunities to experience the benefits of freedom to their everyday lives.
The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) forum held a 40-minute taped Google hangout with panel participants. There was a lot of heated debate about the free market between Josh Umbehr, AtlasMD and the other panelists. Kristy Hawley, former chapter president of BRI-Georgetown, was the student moderator for the online debate. Ms. Hawley was able to ask a question that alluded to the fact that all of these new alternative payment models are driving consolidation into hospitals, and that it is also difficult for independent physicians to participate in these models because the price to play is too high with the requirements.
Dr. Craig Wax interviews Dr. Beth Haynes, BRI executive director. From Rowan Radio: Host Dr. Craig Wax is joined by Dr. Beth Haynes from Half Moon Bay, California. Dr. Haynes is the Executive Director of the Benjamin Rush Institute. They talk about her work, the importance of the institute, and the policies she is pushing and advocating for.
Dr. Beth Haynes, BRI Executive Director and former emergency room physician, will deliver her talk Poverty as a Determinant of Health — Markets as the Cure wherein she discusses the demonstrably beneficial effects of free market forces for those who are most at risk. Specifically, we will discuss how unfettered enterprise can make healthcare more affordable and more accessible to everyone. There is a common misunderstanding among medical students that a free market neglects the poor, and that healthcare management demands government intervention. Dr. Haynes will shed some light on the false premises at the heart of this issue.
All are welcome at BRI events. Lunch will be provided. RSVPs are appreciated.
