“HEALING OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM:
A MORAL & ECONOMIC IMPERATIVE”
FREE
When it comes to the American health care system, there's agreement on one thing: it's broken. Despite spending twice as much as other developed nations on health care and leaving 47 million people entirely uninsured, the U.S. rates #37 in quality of care. This panel will discuss how publicly funded (single payer) health care would both save money and provide high-quality, comprehensive care for everybody.
- “The Healthcare Solution: California OneCare” by Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker Don Schroeder.
- Find out about the OneCareNOW Campaign, developing a mass movement demanding a health care system that works.
- Hear how corporate health care drives prices UP instead of down and drives doctors and patients alike crazy— and bankrupt.
-Learn how SB 840 will give all Californians true health security and economic stability.
-Discover what you can do to help.
