DESCRIPTION:WHAT:\nPanel Discussion and Q & A\nTHE FUTURE OF UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE:  IS 
 SAN FRANCISCO LEADING THE WAY?\n\nListen to diverse perspectives from a 
 distinguished panel of public health planners, care providers, patients and 
 journalists — and share your own health care experiences.\n\nFour years 
 ago the city launched Healthy San Francisco, a pioneering plan to bring 
 universal health care to residents through a network of community clinics 
 and hospitals. Though the program has earned rave reviews for the quality 
 of care and expanding access to thousands of the uninsured, the city is not 
 immune to the national pressures of skyrocketing health care costs.\n\nIn 
 an election year in which health reform is on the political front burner, 
 what lessons can the nation learn from San Francisco’s experiment? Will 
 preventive care save or cost more money in the long run? What are the 
 potential long-term policy implications for patients and health care 
 providers? What other cities might have the answers?\n\nAdmission is free 
 to the community. Healthy snacks and beverages will be provided. The 
 facility is wheelchair accessible.\n\nWHEN:\nDate: Wednesday, Feb 29,
