Medicine is Swallowing the Federal Budget

Join us as Dr. Michael Szycher provides a scholarly and balanced discussion of exploding healthcare costs in the U.S.Jewish tradition teaches: “One for all, and all for one.”But are there limits?
• If present healthcare cost trends continue, the U.S. will be bankrupt by 2025 or sooner. 
• Discussion of medical miracles behind our increased life expectancy, yet we spend much more on healthcare as we get older.  
• Why does the U.S. spend twice as much as Israel for healthcare with the same medical outcomes?  
• How did we get here?  
• What can we do to avert a Medicare / Medicaid catastrophe?

Complimentary bagels, lox, pastries, and assorted drinks will be provided for participants. This program has been generously sponsored by Dr. Michael and Laurie Szycher.
