DESCRIPTION:Physician, medical sociologist, writer, activist and advocate Howard 
 Waitzkin is a co-author of the Single Payer health bill introduced into US 
 Congress by Rep. John Conyers and Sen. Bernie Sanders, and the founder of 
 the Civilian Medical Resource Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated 
 to providing pro bono and low cost health care to people in the military, 
 veterans and their families. \n\nFor decades, Dr. Waitzkin has realized 
 that "one does not need to travel outside the United States to find the 
 'Third World'. Instead, areas quite close to home manifest problems and 
 challenges that resemble those of countries usually labeled as economically 
 less developed." As an active member of the Latin American Association of 
 Social Medicine, he researches evolving health care systems that have led 
 to improved outcomes in Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Uruguay and Brazil and 
 suggests how these new paradigms could be utilized in the US. A focus of 
 his discussion will be how we, as citizen-activists, can improve health 
 care for ourselves, our families, our communities and nationwide.\n\nDr. 
 Waitzkin is the keynote speaker for the GI Rights Network conference, which 
 is co-sponsored by the Resource Center for Nonviolence and Santa Cruz 
 WILPF. The Santa Cruz GI Rights Network counseling group is a program of 
 the RCNV.\n\n$5 requested, no one turned away for lack of funds\n
