Doctors to debate health care public option Thursday at IUN
As Congress argues the broad issues of health care reform, region residents interested in a public insurance option will be able to attend a local debate Thursday at Indiana University Northwest.
Drs. Alex Stemer and Bharat Pithadia will assume opposing sides of the issue. Pithadia, president of Pithadia Medical, will advocate a public option while Stemer, president and CEO of Medical Specialists Centers of Indiana, will speak against government-run health insurance.
The two-hour event begins at 3 p.m. at the Savannah Auditorium, located in the Savannah Center at the southeast corner of the main campus parking lot at 33rd Avenue and Broadway. Refreshments will be provided.
The debate at IU Northwest is sponsored by the College of Health and Human Services, the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.
