Prescription For Bankruptcy:
America's Failing Health Care "non-system"

Why do Americans pay more than citizens of any other country for health care and yet have, at best, mediocre health outcomes? Dr. Edward Hoffer will discuss this topic, and suggest both global solutions and practical things you can do to pay less and get better care.

 

Our speaker, Edward Hoffer MD

Edward Hoffer MD is a graduate of MIT and Harvard Medical School and did his residency and fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Hoffer has held faculty academic appointments at Harvard, the University of Massachusetts, and Boston University. He has also held appointments at several Boston hospitals (Peter Bent Brigham, Beth Israel, Boston Hospital for Women), at many Boston metro-west hospitals (in Worcestor, Natick, and Framingham), and at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington. He has either authored or co-authored over 80 publications, including 8 books and dozens of refereed journal articles, many of which deal with the application of computers to various aspects of medicine and with issues within the American healthcare system (insurance, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, etc.).

For 45 years he combined clinical practice of Internal Medicine and Cardiology with research on the applications of computers and AI to medical care, and continues to work half-time at the MGH Lab of Computer Science.

He has written and lectured extensively on the problems of the American healthcare "non-system."

 

Lunch at Alberto's Ristorante

We will be returning to Alberto's Ristorante in Hyannis because of the many rave reviews we received for the food and service in the past.

MITCASA Book Club - May (San Antonio)

  • In-Person

Club of Austin and San Antonio

Monday, May 19, 6:00pm - 8:00pm (America/Chicago)

More Info & RSVP

Event Details

MITCASA has a book club in San Antonio. We focus on popular STEM non-fiction or hard-science science fiction (not hard to read, but science-oriented) that will fit into our busy lives (no textbooks, Ph.D. theses, or thousand-page novels). We can choose other subjects, too. Each month, we’ll choose books for the following month by consensus.

The thirteenth meeting will be on Monday, May 19, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. We’ll meet at Rome’s Pizza at 5999 De Zavala Road, San Antonio, TX 78249. Rome’s Pizza has counter service featuring salad’s, pasta, sandwiches, desserts, and ... wait for it … pizza.

This month’s book is The Wood Age: How One Material Shaped the Whole of Human History by biology professor Roland Ennos. It is available from Amazon in paperback and hardcover form. It is also available from the San Antonio Public Library under a different title, The Age of Wood, in book, eBook, and audiobook form.

From the Amazon description:

Roland Ennos’ The Wood Age is a love-letter to the world’s most vital and yet most threatened material. It is the story of how wood has shaped our human experience from the earliest foragers to the modern four poster bed.

‘A stunning book on the incalculable debt humanity owes wood…’ John Carey, The Sunday Times

In a journey to appreciate how much wood matters – and has done since prehistory – Roland Ennos takes the reader chronologically through four key phases: the impact of wooded habits on the lives of primates; human emergence and the discoveries of fire and woodwork; wood’s role in an environment both pre- and post-industrialisation; and lastly, the possible future of wood in an
increasingly technologized world.

In an original and essential investigation, The Wood Age challenges the traditional model of
historical development – stone, bronze, iron – and instead guide readers through a revealing and
innovative wooded history of the world.

The Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project

  • In-Person

Club of Cape Cod

Wednesday, June 11, 5:00pm - 8:30pm (America/New_York)

Event Details

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>The Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Wôpanâak was the language spoken by the indiginous people living in this region when the Pilgrims arrived in 1620.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">After a couple hundred years of colonial laws, wars, and diseases, hundreds of Wôpanâak tribes were reduced to four small fragmented communities, and the </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">last people for whom Wôpanâak was their first language passed away in the mid 1850's. It took only a few more generations for all traces of spoken Wôpanâak to completely fade away, with the decendants speaking only English after that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>OUR SPEAKERS:</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://d21hwc2yj2s6ok.cloudfront.net/shrine_store/uploads/networks/143…; alt="" width="150" height="150"><br>Jessie (Little Doe) Baird</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Jessie (Little Doe) Baird</strong> is the Director of Linguistics, Lead Linguist, and a co-founder of the <a href="https://www.wlrp.org/"><strong>Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project</strong></a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In the early 1990's she had dreams in which people were speaking in an unfamiliar language, and soon after that she thought that the language might be Wôpanâak, the language spoken by her ancestors.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">This inspired her to start researching everything she could find out about the original Wôpanâak language, and in 1993 she co-founded the<strong> </strong>Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project with the long-term goal of revitalizing the language, which had not be spoken for seven generations, for the people now living within the remaining anoag tribes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Because something like that had never been done before, there were many who thought that it was not even possible. But Jessie was undeterred. In her quest, she gained admission to MIT where she learned how to apply modern linguistic techniques coupled with historical records in order to understand original Wôpanâak grammar and to create a dictionary of 10,000 Wôpanâak words. (And she did all this while commuting between her home on Cape Cod and Cambridge while also raising four children).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">For this seminal work, Jessie was granted a <strong>Masters in Linguistic Science from MIT</strong> in 2000.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>In recognition of this and other brilliant achievements</strong> ...</span></p>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In 2010, Jessie was honored with a <strong>MacArthur Fellowship</strong> (a.k.a MacArthur Genius Award).</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In 2017, Jessie received and <strong>Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences from Yale University</strong>.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In 2020, Jessie was named one of <strong>USA Today's "Woman of the Century."</strong></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Jessie and her work on Wôpanâak language reconstruction are the subject of a PBS documentary: <a href="https://www.makepeaceproductions.com/video-wamp-trailer.html"><em>We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân</em></a>, directed by Anne Makepeace.</span></li>
