Charles Krauthammer: The Future of Healthcare

Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 6:00pm

Statler Hall Auditorium

Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer will speak on the future of healthcare, followed by a short question-and-answer period with the audience.

Krauthammer, the former chief resident in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital who later served as a speechwriter for Vice President Walter Mondale before joining The New Republic as an editor and writer in 1981,  will discuss the future of America’s healthcare system and how it relates to the issues of bioethics and end-of-life questions.

Krauthammer is the former chief resident in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. He later served as a speechwriter for Vice President Walter Mondale before joining The New Republic as an editor and writer in 1981.

As contributing editor to The Weekly Standard, political columnist for the Washington Post and essayist for Time magazine, Krauthammer has been the recipient of several prestigious awards including the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, the 2013 William F. Buckley Award for Media Excellence, and the first Bradley Prize. Krauthammer has been called “without a doubt the most powerful force in American conservatism” by former congressman Joe Scarborough.

Krauthammer is a member of the President’s Council on Bioethics and the Council on Foreign Relations. He makes frequent appearances on programs such as The O’Reilly Factor and Special Report with Bret Baier.

Tickets for the event are available at the Willard Straight Hall ticket office and a limited number will be available at the door.

The event is sponsored by the Cornell University College Republicans.
