BRI Dr. Robert F. Graboyes healthcare reformALL are welcome at this event to hear the argument that politicians from BOTH SIDES of the political divide are approaching healthcare reform all wrong! At least according to Dr. Robert F. Graboyes. Dr. Graboyes is a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Institute at George Mason University. BRI-Georgetown is very happy to welcome Dr. Graboyes back for a repeat delivery of his very insightful, much requested healthcare innovation lecture, "Fortress & Frontiers."

George Washington University: Lecture — Dr. Josh Umbehr, MD, on practice innovation, patient advocacy and health policy

George Washington University, Ross Hall, Room #117 Ross Hall, 2300 I St NW, Washington, DC, United States

NOTE: This event takes place in the eastern time zone. Food will be provided; RSVPs are appreciated.

Dr. Josh Umbehr, AtlasMDALL are welcome to attend this evening presentation. Dr. Josh Umbehr from Wichita, Kansas will be in DC this Friday, Nov. 6, to speak about his creative — and increasingly spreading — approach to addressing the pressing issues of the need for medical practice innovation, patient advocacy, and workable healthcare solutions. "Dr. Josh" began AtlasMD, a direct-primary care practice, in which patients pay a modest monthly fee and in return have nearly unlimited access to primary care. This model allows doctors to have fewer patients than average, meaning more time for doctors and patients to interact. He will speak to why Direct Primary care may be the answer to better healthcare in the US.

There will be a mixer following at Mission in Dupont.

George Washington University — DEBATE: Be it resolved: Providing quality healthcare to the poor is best achieved through free markets and charity, not government programs

Ross Hall, Room #117 2300 I St NW, Washington, DC, United States

Be it resolved: Providing quality healthcare to the poor is best achieved through free markets and charity, not government programs

Arguably the most important question in America's current debate about healthcare is: Who can deliver the best results for the most people? A free market, or government ("single payer")? Is there any common ground between these two greatly differing views?

BRI provides educational debates, lectures, events and resources supporting our mission to promote healthcare solutions that protect the doctor-patient relationships the primary means of delivering quality medical care. This debate at GWU is an important part of that mission, to expand discussion, education, and information about all sides of healthcare issues.

George Washington University is the Host Chapter for BRI's 4th annual leadership conference and is a proud partner with BRI in producing this debate. For the 4th consecutive year, a Friday night debate has been one of the most anticipated parts of BRI's Leadership Conference, and it is the only part of the conference open to the public.

We look forward to seeing you & thank you for being part of this important part of our healthcare future.
