CMHS Hosts Free Ethics in Healthcare Seminar on Sept. 27: “How Healthcare Controls Us”
(Ventura, California) Why is healthcare reform so difficult? The tough choices and tradeoffs the United States may have to make to find a workable solution in healthcare will be the focus of a free Ethics in Healthcare event that Community Memorial Health System is holding as part of its 2017 Speaker Series. The seminar starts at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27, at the Museum of Ventura County, 100 E. Main St. in Ventura.
James Hornstein, M.D., CMHS Bioethics Committee Chair, will moderate the latest Ethics in Healthcare event, titled, “How Healthcare Controls Us: Reform Efforts in Uncertain Times.”
In addition to Hornstein, featured speakers will include Gary Wilde, CMHS president and CEO; and Lucien Wulsin, J.D., health policy expert and author of “California at the Crossroads: Choices for Healthcare Reform.” The seminar will address the following topics:
· Is private insurance becoming unaffordable?
· Is a single-payer system the solution?
· Are healthcare costs out of control?
· Are the health insurance exchanges working?
· What are your options right now?
