Five Myths About American Healthcare                                                                           A Talk by Elizabeth H. Bradley ’96 PhD and Lauren A. Taylor ’08 ’09 MPH

Wednesday, April 2 at 6:00 p.m.

For decades, experts have puzzled over why the United States spends more on health care but suffers poorer outcomes than other industrialized nations. In this important lecture, Elizabeth H. Bradley ’96, PhD, Professor of Public Health and Branford College Master, and Lauren A. Taylor ’08, ’09 MPH, currently a student at Harvard Divinity School, will get to the root of this fascinating paradox.

This talk will illuminate how narrow definitions of "health care," outdated divisions in the distribution of health and social services, and our response to government programs combine to create inefficient outcomes, even as spending continues to soar. The speakers will discuss how and why the U.S. health care system developed as it did; examine the constraints on, and possibilities for, reform; and profile inspiring new initiatives from around the world. Offering a unique and clarifying perspective on the problems the Affordable Care Act won't solve, this important talk will point a new way forward.

The evening will include a reception.  Copies of the speakers' highly-acclaimed book, The American Healthcare Paradox, will be available for purchase.
