RALEIGH, N.C. – On Wednesday, October 14, Campbell Law’s chapter of the Federalist Society hosted a health care debate with guests Doug Bandow, of the Cato Institute, and Adam Searing, of the N.C. Health Access Coalition, offering their perspectives on the topic. More than 150 students, faculty and members of the public came to listen to a lively, balanced discussion on health care reform.
The Federalist Society’s third event highlighted the group’s commitment to fostering balanced and open debate.
“There is no perfect solution. We are always going to have to make difficult tradeoffs,” said Mr. Bandow. “Decisions are going to have to be made on how much treatment is to be provided… but the more we can put these decisions at the individual and family level the better.” That was the root of Mr. Bandow’s message to the group and the focus of his proposals.
“We have a system in place where there are a lot of people who shirk the responsibility they have in the health care system,” Mr. Searing said. “I think that the idea is if we are going to all be in this together, we are going to need to require everyone to contribute.” Mr. Searing’s message focused on providing affordable coverage for all.
The debate lasted well over an hour, with a vigorous question and answer session following the panelists’ remarks. Paul Griffin, president of the Campbell Law Federalist Society and a second year law student, praised the high turnout and level of participation from the audience. “All we can do is continue discussing these issues and hope everyone takes something away from it.”
