Replacing Obamacare and Curing the Healthcare crisis
In this upcoming event and based on his new book Priceless, Dr. John C. Goodman will take the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to task, reject Obamacare, and offer a no-nonsense approach to healthcare reform.
To end the current bureaucratic malaise and create a vibrant market that would treat the sick—in which health plans compete to solve the problems of diabetics, asthmatics, heart patients, cancer patients, and others with high expected healthcare costs—Dr. Goodman shows that we must undo the government-mandated, bad incentives and constraints that are embedded in the current system and made far worse by the ACA.
On Thursday Oct. 4, 2012, reception at 6:30 p.m.; program: at 7 p.m., at The Independent Institute Conference Center, 100 Swan Way, Oakland.
