2011 Thomas A. Pitts Lectureship
Len M. Nichols presented his talk titled Government Intervention in Health Care Markets is Practical, Necessary, and MorallySound at the 18th Annual Thomas Pitts Lectureship on October 28th and participated in a discussion Seminar on Health Care Reform Law (PPACA): Justice in health care reform, health care system reform, market-based reforms, responsibility for health care on October 29th.
The eight speakers at the lectureship are nationally and internationally respected thinkers and writers on the specific topics they address. As the Institute has done with the previous Pitts Lectureships, the proceedings of the conference will be published as a symposium in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Law, Medicine, & Ethics.
Thomas Antley Pitts, II, M.D. (1893-1991) served as a member of the Board of the Medical University of South Carolina for thirty-six years and served as its chairman for twenty-five of those years. He left a substantial bequest to the Medical University of South to endow “a series of lectures on medical ethics”. The series has become known as the Pitts Memorial Lectureship, and has been held annually since 1993.

Implementation of health reform has important national, state, and local dimensions. Fairfax County, large, diverse county and key provider and funder of the health care safety net, will be impacted in profound ways that will force major policy and priority changes at the county level. Len Nichols is leading a team which includes Dr. PJ Maddox, Beth Isaacs, and Che Ngufor a PhD student in Computational Sciences and Informatics, that is developing a set of recommendations or options for the county based on a detailed quantitative analysis of the country’s uninsured today and post-reform, and on a qualitative analysis of peer county programs and responses to reform around the country.
