DESCRIPTION:Physicians’ Report on the State of America’s Health and Health 
 Reform\nPost-election update:  Doctors to brief Bay Area healthcare reform 
 advocates and the public this Saturday\n\nAt 3 pm Saturday, November 8, a 
 group of doctors who attended the recent annual meeting of Physicians for a 
 National Health Program will report on the state of America's health and 
 share current ideas about how to solve America's burgeoning healthcare 
 crisis. This free, public forum will take place at the Mission Cultural 
 Center, 2868 Mission St., in San Francisco. A panel of health professionals 
 and medical students will discuss the latest policy trends for universal 
 healthcare in the context of the national election results. Following their 
 formal presentation, the public will have an opportunity to ask questions 
 and participate in an open discussion.\n\nThe speakers and forum topics 
 include:\n\nLi-hsia Wang, MD: Single payer and the crisis in primary 
 care\n\nRichard Quint, MD: Bringing the single-payer movement to Washington 
 in 2008 \n\nHank Abrons, MD: Physicians' opinions about national health 
 insurance\n\nBill Tarran, DPM: Building the movement after the 
 elections\n\nUrsula Rolfe, MD: Health reform efforts in 
 Massachusetts\n\nClaudia Chaufan, MD, PhD:  Taiwan’s healthcare 
 system\n\nYohko Murakami, Stanford University medical student: Challenges 
 facing today’s medical students\n\nJohn Shearer, MD: Healthcare in 
 Canada\n\nSeth Weissman, MD: The shareholder and business case for 
 reform\n\nSponsored by Single Payer Now (SPN) and the California Universal 
 Health Care Education Project\n\nSPN is a grassroots organization of 
 volunteers working since 1994 to support universal single-payer healthcare 
 for California and the United States. By eliminating the private health 
 insurance industry, single-payer health reform in our state and/or nation 
 would give everyone access to comprehensive health care and save billions 
 of dollars.\n\nPhysicians for a National Health Program, a membership 
 organization of over 15,000 physicians, supports a single-payer national 
 health insurance program.
