Yuri Maltsev, Economist: Healthcare in the Soviet Union — Wine & Cheese presentation
Half Moon Bay Wine & Cheese 421 Main Street, Half Moon Bay, CA, United States
Patrick and Mary Peterson, Beth Haynes and the Benjamin Rush Institute invite you to join an intimate (30 guests maximum), convivial gathering, to sample fine wines and cheeses and meet other free market friends. You will also hear our special guest, "the last Soviet Defector," Yuri Malstev speak about the dangers of socialized medicine. 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.
