Yuri will offer some brief remarks on his experiences with socialized medicine in the Soviet Union as well as some key points toward a better system from an Austrian free market ideas perspective. Hosted at the beautiful Half Moon Bay Wine & Cheese, this promises to be a memorable evening. We can't imagine a better place for free market dads to be on Father's Day!

Assuming that Obamacare will either be declared unconstitutional (at least a large part of it) by the Supreme court in the last week in June, or that it will simply fail from its own inefficiencies, costs and contradictions, what will come next?  The two clear but opposite paths for healthcare need some more consideration: socialized or free market.

You have a unique opportunity to enjoy, in a sophisticated setting, the wit and wisdom of someone greatly familiar with both paths, from personal historical experience in Soviet Russia as well as logical, but realistic, Austrian free market economic theory.

Summit at the Summit: Keystone, CO July 20 – 26, 2015

Keystone Resort, Keystone, CO 1200 Co Road 8, Keystone, CO, United States

Let My Doctor Practice is a movement founded by United Physicians and Surgeons of America (UPSA) to restore the voice of the doctor to the practice of medicine. We believe in the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship, the autonomy to practice medicine without restraint imposed by overreaching government and corporate entities, and, above all, that patient care and safety should never be compromised. Together, we will unite our voices to restore the practice of medicine to those who actually practice medicine.

Held in beautiful Keystone, Colorado, many of our favorite speakers and doctors (including Dr. Beth Haynes, BRI Executive Director) will be convening to take decisive steps to restore commonsense to American healthcare. This is a conference you won't want to miss if your future as a healthcare professional and your patients are important to you.

Let your voice be heard at the Summit at the Summit: Conference and Interactive Webcast—A National Grand Rounds on the State of American Medicine July 20-26, 2015 in Keystone, Colorado.
