The U.S. House of Representatives is about to hold a historic vote on the Affordable Health Care for America Act (HR 3962).
This landmark bill will increase security and stability for those of us who have health care, and provide quality, affordable coverage for those of us who don't. There are many working families in the Monroe County area that do not have employer based healthcare, including our very own CSEA members. If you have an interesting story to share, please think about joining us at the next Labor Lyceum.
Titled, "Just Health Care," the gathering will take place on Saturday, November 14, 2009.
Here are the details:
When: 10am to 12pm
Where: NYSUT, 30 North Union Street, Rochester, NY.
This lyceum will present several local perspectives on fundamental and neglected aspects of the healthcare issue. What is health? What would a just healthcare policy look like? Can we provide "good" healthcare to ALL Americans? And, what obstacles block the ideal healthcare policy, and how can they be overcome? Time will be provided for audience questions and comments.
Speakers: Bruce Popper, 1199 SEIU; Ron Hickel, Past Director, Manitoba Health Care; and, Leon Zoghlin, Physicians for a National Healthcare Plan.
For more information, please go to the Rochester Labor Council website.
