SUMMARY:Fri. Oct. 25\, 2019\, 8 am\, Grand Rounds\, U of L Dept. of Family Medicine and Geriatrics:  "Medicare for All - What physicians need to know"
DESCRIPTION:Grand Rounds \nU of L Department of Family Medicine and Geriatrics:  \n“Medicare for All – What physicians need to know” \n Speaker:  Economist Gerald Friedman\, PhD\nFriday\, October 25\, 2019\, \n8:00 m \nBottigheimer Auditorium\, Jewish Hospital\, 200 Abraham Flexner Way \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\nFriedman analysis of HR 676: Medicare for All would save billions\n‘Medicare for All’ would cover everyone\, save billions in first year: new study\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 \n\nGerald Friedman\, PhD\, Professor of Economics at U Mass\, Amherst\nShare and Enjoy !Shares
