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."

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.

There will be a cash bar and we will be offering the same entrees as before (gluten-free is available upon request). All meals include a house salad and Tartuffo dessert.

• Chicken Parmagian - Breaded chicken cutlet topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese. Served with penne pasta.

The Wampanoag Language Reclamation Project

Wampanoag was the language spoken by the indiginous people living in this region when the Pilgrims arrived in 1620.

After a couple hundred years of colonial laws, wars, and diseases, hundreds of Wampanoag tribes were reduced to four small fragmented communities, and the last people for whom Wampanoag was their first language passed away in the mid 1850's. It took only a few more generations for all traces of spoken Wampanoag to completely fade away, with the decendants speaking only English after that.

Our speaker, Jessie (Little Doe) Baird

In the early 1990's our speaker, Jessie (Little Doe) Baird, had dreams in which people were speaking in an unfamiliar language, and soon after that she thought that the language might be Wampanoag, the language spoken by her ancestors.

This inspired her to start researching everything she could find out about the original Wampanoag language, and in 1993 she founded the Wampanoag 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 Wampanoag tribes.

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 Wampanoag grammar and to create a dictionary of 10,000 Wampanoag words. (And she did all this while commuting between her home on Cape Cod and Cambridge while also raising four children).

For this seminal work, Jessie was granted a Masters in Linguistic Science from MIT in 2000.

Not one to rest on her laurels, Jessie then founded the Wampanoag Language School. Over the years -- and after much fund raising, curriculum development, and training of additional linguists and teachers -- there are now hundreds of members of today's Wampanoag tribes who can speak Wampanoag, from beginners to people who are fully fluent.

In recognition of all these brilliant achievements ...

• In 2010, Jessie was honored with a MacArthor Fellowship (a.k.a MacArthor Genius Award).
• In 2017, Jessie received and Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences from Yale University.
• In 2020, Jessie was named one of USA Today's "Woman of the Century."
• Jessie and her work on Wampanoag language reconstruction are the subject of a PBS documentary: We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân, directed by Anne Makepeace.

Jessie also serves as the vice-chairwoman of the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribal Council.
