Finally, we will encourage attendees to attend our next event which will hopefully be held in March.

Code Black is a must-see documentary for any medical student, regardless of specialization. This documentary is about Emergency Room 
medicine, and specifically about the LA County Hospital’s C-Booth trauma center. 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.
BRI sponsored nine (9) medical students to attend this event. Several wrote blog posts outlining their experience of attending the American Academy of Private Physicians (AAPP) conference, and what they learned about the advantages of Direct Primary Care and free market medicine.
Are subsidies distributed through federal health insurance exchanges legal, or not? This is the question posed by King v. Burwell, scheduled for oral argument before the US supreme Court on March 4th with a ruling expected by June, 2015.
What is being deliberated, and why? How likely is it that the subsidies will be found illegal, and what would that mean for Oregon and Washington?
Just six days before the case is to be heard, you have the opportunity to learn the details from Michael Cannon, considered by some to be the "intellectual father" of the strategy behind this legal challenge. He will discuss the case, what is at stake in Oregon and Washington — and for the ACA in general — as well as present his thoughts on how Congress should reform healthcare.
Dr. Marion Mass, of Jellinek Pediatrics and a member of BRI's Speakers Bureau will speak to us on preserving the doctor-patient relationship in an era of increasing regulation. Refreshments will be served.
What is a "medical home?" Join us Monday, March 16th for a presentation by Dr. Roxanne Cech, from the Dept. of Family Medicine at OUHCOM. What does a patient-centered practice look like?
This event is free and is the Eastern time zone. RSVP's appreciated.
Come and join us for dinner and a movie on Thursday, March 19th at 6pm in room #339 of the Dana Biomedical Library on the main campus. We'll run through a few quick announcements and then watch the new documentary on American healthcare, Wait Till It's Free. The film is a provocative look at healthcare that questions whether greater government involvement in the financing and delivery of healthcare would be a good thing. If you plan to attend, please RSVP so that we can order the right amount of food.
Colin Gunn's 2014 documentary on the perils of government sponsored healthcare will be screened. Wait Til It's Free is "A provocative documentary film that takes a hard and honest look at the way we do healthcare in America.
The film looks at everything from the escalating cost of health insurance to the move towards socialized medicine - and some alternatives which preserve the doctor-patient relationship while providing quality care at affordable prices.
A discussion of the film will follow.
NOTE: This event takes place from 5:15 - 6:00 pm EST (Indianapolis).
Lecture: Dr. Timothy Von Fange, MD, Family Practice and Sports Medicine, will be speaking on the medical innovations in sports medicine, and how those innovations could not take place without the free market.
