Health Care Forum w/C. John Conyers & Donna Smith from the Michael Moore movie ‘Sicko’

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 13, 2009 -- The panel will be discussing options for reform, particularly the benefits of a single payer system. Single payer health care is when health care (doctors, hospital expenses, etc.) is paid from a single fund. You choose your own doctors, since no provider is ever considered “out of network.”

Confirmed for the panel are Katie Robbins, the assistant national coordinator for Healthcare-NOW!; Donna Smith, featured in Michael Moore's movie Sicko, who is a legislative associate and community organizer for the California Nurses Association; and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), who introduced HR 676, the current Federal legislation for a Medicare-for-all style health care system. Also invited for the panel are a local community doctor and a local professor of economics.

Many CT legislators are being invited, including Rep. DeLauro, Rep. Murphy, Rep.
Courtney, and Sen. Dodd.

Don’t miss this valuable opportunity for our legislators to hear from their
constituents on this vital topic.

Over 40 years ago, at the Riverside Church in New York, Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., said, "Of all the forms of injustice, inequality in health care is the most
shocking and inhumane."
