Public Forum on Health Care Reform

While the following is directly oriented toward Bucks County residents, it would be quite applicable and relevant to all:

Public Forum on Health Care Reform
Saturday, September 15, 2007
Bucks County Community College
Library Auditorium
275 Swamp Rd., Newtown, PA
9:30am to 12:30pm.

Free and open to the public.

The purpose of the forum is (1) to establish basic principles that Bucks County residents want to see incorporated in any health care reform developed at the state or national level, (2) and to inaugurate a network of Bucks County residents ready to respond and work for those principles.

Dr. Walter Tsou, past President of the American Public Health Association and Former Philadelphia Commissioner of Public Health, will speak about the problems with our current health care system. Congressman Patrick Murphy and State Representative David Steil will talk about the process of how legislation becomes law, and how citizens can be effective in their advocacy.

The participants of the forum will decide what basic principles need to be included in any current or future health care reform legislation.

Sponsored by Bucks County League of Women Voters and many others.

The upcoming edition of democratic Left will feature more information and background on the event.

For information, contact Dr. Henry D'Silva at 215-860-7442 or Greater Philadelphia DSA at PhilaDSA@gmail.com. For directions, visit www.bucks.edu.
