The healthcare debate is heating up and Washington lawmakers are talking about healthcare increasingly like the Europeans do, as a cost problem rather than a growth industry. Is a European modeled system the right prescription for American healthcare?

Please join us on Wednesday, June 3rd to hear Betsy McCaughey, PhD. McCaughey's 1994 analysis of the Clinton health plan, written while she was with the Manhattan Institute, was widely credited with derailing HillaryCare. She will be discussing how the American healthcare system should be reformed and why our leaders should not create a socialist healthcare system in this country.

Ms. McCaughey, former Lt. Governor of New York State and current chairman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths, is the author of over one hundred scholarly and popular articles on health policy, infection, medical innovation, the economics of aging and Medicare. Her 1994 analysis of the Clinton health plan in The New Republic won a National Magazine Award for the best article in the nation on public policy. Her writings have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, Policy Review, Forbes Magazine, New York Law Journal, Los Angeles Times, U.S. News & World Report, and many other national publications.

The Young Leaders Circle will convene on Wednesday, June 3rd, from 6 to 8:30 pm. Ms. McCaughey will speak at 6:45 pm, sharp.
