Cogito: The Economics and Ethics of Health Care

Hamline & TPT Present Public Policy Forum

The Hamline University School of Law Alumni Board, in partnership with Twin Cities Public Television, presents Cogito, a unique forum on law and public policy. The first forum will focus on The Economics and Ethics of Health Care on Thursday, September 17, 2009 at Hamline University's Drew Fine Arts Building. Doors open at 5:45 p.m.; taping begins at 6 p.m. Cogito will be taped for future broadcast on TPT's Minnesota Channel. The forum also will be available for viewing on the Hamline University School of Law website: http://law.hamline.edu/health.

"The forum is centered on the simple premise that responsible dialogue amongst thoughtful citizens is the shortest path to--first understanding and then--solving some of our most difficult personal and societal issues. Condensed, we will join "Smart People on Tough Issues," with the goal of creating relevant, thoughtful and intellectually accessible programming on the most pressing issues of law, public policy, morality, and their intersections in the everyday lives of Minnesotans," said Hamline Alumni Board Vice President A.L. Brown.

The September 17 discussion will feature a distinguished group of civic and business professionals, including:

Judge James Rosenbaum (moderator), United States District Court, District of Minnesota

Carol Falkowski, MN Department of Human Services, Chemical Health Division

Aretha Green-Rupert, Minnesota non-profit leader

Phil Krinkie, president of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota 

Dr. Arne Vainio, a physician who practices on the Fond du Lac Reservation in Northern Minnesota

Andrea Walsh, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Health Partners
