SUMMARY:Thur. Oct. 24\, 2019\, 8 am\, Grand Rounds\, U of L Department of Medicine: “Medicare for All - What physicians need to know”\, Ambulatory Care Building\, 550 S. Jackson St.
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 24\, 2019 \n8:00 to 8:45 am \n Speaker:  Economist Gerald Friedman\, PhD\nGrand Rounds\, U of L Department of Medicine: “Medicare for All – What physicians need to know” \nAmbulatory Care Building auditorium\, located on the lower level of the ACB on the University of Louisville Health Sciences Center campus. \n550 S. Jackson St\, \nProfessor Gerald Friedman earned his BA in economics and history from Columbia University and his Ph. D. from Harvard University.  He is currently teaching at University of Massachusetts\, Amherst.  He has studied and written extensively on the funding of improved Medicare for All\, single-payer systems. \n________________ \n\nPhysicians for a National Health Program\nJuly 31\, 2013 \nUpgrading the nation’s Medicare program and expanding it to cover people of all ages would yield over a half-trillion dollars in efficiency savings in its first year of operation\, enough to pay for high-quality\, comprehensive health benefits for all residents of the United States at a lower cost to most individuals\, families and businesses. \nThat’s the chief finding of a new fiscal study by Gerald Friedman\, a professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. There would even be money left over to help pay down the national debt\, he said. \nFriedman says his analysis shows that a nonprofit single-payer system based on the principles of the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act\, H.R. 676\, introduced by Rep. John Conyers Jr.\, D-Mich.\, and co-sponsored by 44 other lawmakers\, would save an estimated $592 billion in 2014. That would be more than enough to cover all 44 million people the government estimates will be uninsured in that year and to upgrade benefits for everyone else. \n“No other plan can achieve this magnitude of savings on health care\,” Friedman said.  More \nGerald Friedman\, PhD\, Professor of Economics at U Mass\, Amherst\n\nShare and Enjoy !Shares

SUMMARY:Gerald Friedman to speak at W. Chestnut Baptist Church\, 12 N\, Thur. Oct. 24\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:“Of all the forms of inequality\, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman.”    \nDr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, March 25\, 1966 \nYet 53 years after Dr. King spoke those words\, our country still suffers over 83\,000 excess deaths each year among African Americans–deaths that would not happen if there were equality. \nOur country’s health system leaves tens of millions of all colors without health insurance or with insurance so skimpy they cannot afford to use it. \nThe U. S. lags behind the rest of the industrialized world in health care—56th in infant mortality and 43rd in life expectancy.  Our people deserve better. \nThe good news is that there is a solution. \n____________________________________ \nCome hear economics professor Gerald Friedman\, the nation’s leading economist on single payer health care\, explain how the U. S. could cover everyone with excellent care while still saving money. \n“Medicare for All Means Health Equity for All”\nThursday\, Oct. 24\, 2019\, 12 Noon\,  \nWest Chestnut Street Baptist Church \n1725 W. Chestnut St. \n(Parking in lot behind the church\, lot entrance on Madison between 17th and 18th) \nGerald Friedman\, PhD\, Professor of Economics at U Mass\, Amherst\nLight refreshments \nPlease RSVP by email to ajwickliffe@aol.com \nThis event was organized by Bob Cunningham\, Antonio Wickliffe\, and Rev. Ron Robinson and sponsored by Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care. \nAlso\, at 7 pm on Thursday\, Oct. 24\, 2019\, Professor Friedman will be speaking on “The Economic Case for Medicare for All” at the First Unitarian Church\, 809 S. 4th St. near 4th & York\, entrance in the rear. \n__________________________________________ \nA free program for your church or other organization on this topic is available:  Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care (502) 636-1551\, nursenpo@aol.com\, www.kyhealthcare.org\, www.pnhp.org.  labor donated \nShare and Enjoy !Shares
