The Pacific Research Institute and the SF Federalist Society presents
This summer, Congress and the President are considering legislation that will fundamentally change the role of the federal government in controlling Americans’ access to medical services. Among other consequences, this “reform” will affect individuals’ and businesses’ legal rights, medical innovation, economic growth, federalism, and physicians’ ability to practice medicine. A Canadian, John R. Graham has studied the role of government intervention in health environments as diverse as Switzerland and San Francisco (where the mayor holds his Healthy San Francisco plan up as a model for national reform). As well as describing the consequences of the health reform proposed by President Obama and the majority in Congress, Graham will describe an alternative vision that costs less, buys more, and relies on individual choice rather than government power.
