@NEJM: Ask the Author & Experts: Physician Payment After Medicare Doc Fix

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.

St. Louis University School of Medicine — Lecture: How Free Markets Benefit the Poor

Learning Resource Center Rm. #113 Schwitalla Hall, 1402 S Grand Blvd, St Louis, MO, United States

BRI Haynes Beth Executive DirectorDr. 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.
