Opening Plenary Speaker
Thursday, January 21st, 9:00 am
Dr. Richard Kelly, University of California, Irvine
Presentation: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: Who’s Left Behind – Part 1 and Part 2
Dr. Richard Kelly is a member of the clinical faculty at the University of California in Irvine, California. He studied biochemistry and religion as an undergraduate at Harvard University before going on to study Public Health at U.C. Berkeley and both Medicine and Law at Stanford University. He completed his medical internship, anesthesiology residency, and fellowship in cardiothoracic anesthesiology at UCSF in San Francisco. He currently teaches cardiothoracic anesthesiology at the UCI Medical Center as well as public policy at the Health Policy Research Institute on the main UCI campus. His clinical interests focus on the anesthetic management of patients with complex cardiothoracic diseases and his research interests include the societal consequences of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; ethical and legal implications of physician fatigue; and national trends in medical malpractice awards.
Presentation Abstract:
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is a massive piece of legislation that has affected practically every citizen in the United States. Even before its passage by the slimmest of margins in 2010, the PPACA had already traded away its dream to provide universal health insurance to all Americans and, instead, settled for insuring most, but not all, Americans. Challenges to Obamacare in Congress and the Supreme Court have further diminished the magnitude and scope of America’s health coverage. This talk will review how Obamacare originally had been structured to provide health coverage for most Americans and then will explain the way laws enacted by Congress and decisions by the Supreme Court have limited its scope. The talk will go on to examine who is now being left behind, what the consequences are of maintaining such a population of uninsured, and what, if anything, is being done to remedy the situation.
Objectives of Presentation:
- Understand how Obamacare was originally intended to insure most Americans;
- Understand how subsequent legislation and Supreme Court decisions have changed who is being insured;
- Understand who is being left behind and the consequences for America of having such a population of uninsured; and
- Understand what, if anything, is being done to improve access to health care.

Dr. Pat Brown, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA
Patrick O. Brown is CEO and founder of Impossible Foods, and co-founder of Lyrical Foods, Inc., maker of Kite Hill artisanal nut milk-based cheeses.
After receiving his BA, MD and PhD (in Biochemistry) at the University of Chicago, Brown completed a residency in pediatrics at Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital. As a fellow with Mike Bishop and Harold Varmus, he defined the mechanism by which HIV and other retroviruses incorporate their genes into the genomes of the cells they infect. As an HHMI Investigator and Biochemistry Professor at Stanford, Brown and colleagues developed DNA microarrays – a new technology that made it possible to monitor the activity of all the genes in a genome – along with the first methods for analyzing, visualizing and interpreting global gene expression programs. He pioneered the use of gene expression patterns to classify cancers and improve prediction of their clinical course. He has also been a leader in making scientific and medical research results freely available to scientists, physicians and the public. With Varmus and Michael Eisen, he founded the Public Library of Science, a nonprofit scientific publisher that has transformed the publishing industry by making scientific and medical research results freely available to the public. In 2011, Brown chose to devote his full-time effort to the goal of eliminating the biggest environmental problem in the world right now – animal farming. He founded Impossible Foods because he realized that the surest and fastest way to eliminate that industry was to use better technology to give people new choices, even more delicious and satisfying than the meats and dairy products they love. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine and recipient of the American Cancer Society Medal of Honor.
